Objectives:
to identify nurses' competences in promoting women's health.
Methods:
descriptive study with a qualitative approach that adopted the Galway Consensus as a theoretical-methodological framework. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews.
Results:
most of the Galway Consensus' competence domains were present in the nurses' interventions related to health promotion in women's care. "Assessment of needs" and "Implementation" were the most highlighted domains, followed by "Leadership" and "Impact assessment". The domain "Defending/Advocating Rights" was not identified.
Final Considerations:
within the nurses' work with women, some of the Galway Consensus domains of competencies for health promotion were present. However, there is a need, in the context of continuous health education, to expand strategies and enhance the development and application of these health promotion competences.
