Aim This review was conducted to map leadership styles that positively impact patients, professionals and institutions. Background Leadership is a topic widely studied because it is a fundamental skill in establishing favourable work environments, in addition to enabling nurses to influence their team in the search for better results. Therefore, a synthesis of the various studies produced to date is essential for nurses, managers and researchers to understand the different styles of leadership that positively influence organizational results, so they can choose the style they deem most appropriate. Evaluation An integrative literature review retrieved articles from five databases, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The level of evidence and its quality were assessed using the criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Key issues Thirty‐five studies were included, 18 of which reported the influence of leadership styles on patients (safety), nine on professionals (burnout) and eight on institutions (turnover and absenteeism). Conclusion Transformational leadership had positive results for patients, professionals, and institutions alike. Implications for Nursing Management The results showed the need for nurses to improve their leadership skills, especially in the transformational style, to achieve positive results.

BACKGROUNDOccupational dermatitis affects the quality of life and productivity of workers. Studies on the subject are scarce in Brazil. It is estimated that the disease is underreported and that many affected patients do not seek health care.OBJECTIVESTo conduct an epidemiological analysis of occupational dermatitis notified via SINAN in Brazil from January 2007 to December 2012; evaluate the profile of patients assisted; and check the main etiological agents involved.METHODSWe analyzed the compulsory notification forms of cases of occupational dermatitis filled nationwide during January 2007 to December 2012.RESULTSDuring the study period 3027 cases of occupational dermatitis were notified in Brazil. In 61.4% of cases patients were men aged between 35-49 years (39.6%). The most described etiological agent was chromium (13.9%). The location of the body most affected was the hands, with 28.4% of cases. The construction sector is implicated in 28.7% of cases and domestic services by 18%. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most prevalent occupational dermatitis (20.6%) and the region with the highest number of notifications was the Midwest, with 376.4 cases per million inhabitants.CONCLUSIONSThe profile of patients most affected by occupational dermatitis in Brazil during the study period was: men with elementary school, aged between 20 and 49 years old and working in the construction industry. The most common occupational dermatitis were allergic contact dermatitis caused by chromium after years of exposure, being the hands and head the parts of the body most affected.

Objetivo: Fornecer através de uma revisão narrativa uma ampla abordagem sobre a psoríase, uma doença crônica e autoimune que atinge principalmente a pele. Revisão bibliográfica: A psoríase foi citada pela primeira vez antes de Cristo e atualmente afeta cerca de 125 milhões de pessoas em todo mundo. Atinge igualmente homens e mulheres principalmente entre 18 e 39 anos e 50 e 59 anos de idade. Caracteriza-se por períodos de remissão e exacerbação. Pode ser classificada em leve, moderada e grave e suas variantes clínicas são os tipos vulgar, glutata, palmoplantar, inversa, eritrodérmica, pustular, ungueal e artropática. A etiologia dessa inflamação imunomediada do tecido cutâneo envolve a interação de fatores genéticos e ambientais. O diagnóstico é essencialmente clínico, raramente necessitando de biópsia das lesões, e deve ser realizado preferencialmente por um médico dermatologista. A psoríase não tem cura e o tratamento visa a remissão da sintomatologia e redução dos períodos de atividade. Considerações finais: A psoríase necessita de diagnóstico e tratamento adequado, com objetivo de atingir a regressão máxima das lesões cutâneas, proporcionando uma melhora na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados pela doença.
