Resumen
Objetivo: Identificar y caracterizar el estilo de liderazgo predominante entre los enfermeros de las Unidades de Terapia Intensiva para Adultos y de Medicina Clínica de un hospital universitario. Métodos: Se trata de una investigación de campo, descriptiva y analítica, de diseño transversal, realizada con una muestra por conveniencia de 32 enfermeros. La recopilación de datos se realizó en un único momento, mediante un cuestionario sociodemográfico y ocupacional, el Cuestionario de Liderazgo Multifactorial (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, MLQ) y el Cuestionario de Liderazgo Auténtico (Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, ALQ). Se utilizó la prueba binomial para evaluar las asociaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas, los estilos de liderazgo y las unidades de actuación, en el período comprendido entre agosto y septiembre de 2025. Resultados: Se observó un predominio del liderazgo transformacional (87,5 %), seguido del transaccional (12,5 %), sin que se diera el estilo laissez-faire, sin diferencias significativas entre las unidades. El liderazgo auténtico presentó niveles moderados, asociándose con el tiempo de actuación institucional entre 11 y 20 años y con el turno nocturno. Conclusión: El estudio contribuyó a la comprensión de la influencia del liderazgo del enfermero en la calidad de la asistencia, respaldando estrategias de mejora de la gestión y la seguridad del paciente en el contexto hospitalario.
