Psychosocial risk factors associated with stressful working conditions after COVID-19 outbreak, have been studied in 20 nurses of a Basic Hospital in a rural area of Ecuador. Previous studies showed that social relationships, autonomy, and psychological demands were prominent dimensions that lead the risk perception. The aim of this study was to identify determinant leadership in the well-being of nurses and its influence in the psychosocial environment. After the intervention a positive participatory (83%) and collaborative (81%) performance was accomplished, directive leadership decreased (70%), while achievement-oriented leadership remained low (68%). The Wilcoxon test showed significant differences in qualitative-quantitative dimensions of psychological risk (Z= -3.100; p<.01), and (Z= -2.925; p<.01) respectively. Significant relationships among risk factors, perceived work climate and perception of leadership styles was possible to improve the well-being, by using a virtual team model based on participatory leadership. Findings are discussed and measures are proposed for future research.

Los factores de riesgo psicosocial asociados a las condiciones laborales estresantes tras el brote de COVID-19 han sido estudiados en 20 enfermeras de un Hospital Básico de una zona rural de Ecuador. Estudios previos mostraron que las relaciones sociales, la autonomía y las demandas psicológicas eran dimensiones prominentes que conducían a la percepción del riesgo psicosocial. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el liderazgo determinante en el bienestar de los enfermeros y su influencia en el entorno psicosocial. Luego de la intervención se logró un desempeño participativo (83%) y colaborativo (81%) positivo, disminuyó el liderazgo directo (70%), mientras que el liderazgo orientado al logro se mantuvo bajo (68%). La prueba de Wilcoxon mostró diferencias significativas en las dimensiones cualitativas y cuantitativas del riesgo psicológico (Z= -3.100; p< .01) y (Z= -2.925; p<.01) respectivamente. Se lograron relaciones significativas entre los factores de riesgo psicosocial, el clima laboral percibido y la percepción de los estilos de liderazgo para mejorar el bienestar, mediante el uso de un modelo de equipo virtual basado en el liderazgo participativo. Se discuten los hallazgos y se proponen medidas para futuras investigaciones.
