Abstract
to understand how the empowerment of family caregivers of people with stroke occurs in the hospital environment. a qualitative research, participatory action research, articulated with Paulo Freire's Research Itinerary, developed in April 2018 with family caregivers, in a Stroke Unit. three predominant codes were coded: the need for empowerment and autonomy to experience the care situation; the challenges experienced in becoming a caregiver; and family support. Participants presented a lack of information inherent to the care process, with distancing from empowerment to perform the function in dehospitalization. Dialogue revealed empowerment as a possibility for critical awareness and skill development. it highlights the importance of directing health promotion for caregivers, inserting them in the care process, recognizing their needs and intensifying practices that promote empowerment for care, bypassing curative actions.

Curative actions are essential, practices guided by physical aspects make Health Promotion a secondary objective in these environments(4)
There were a total of 16 family caregivers throughout the Circles, all of whom were women and most were married
Summary
Health Promotion emerges strongly in the late 70’s as a new thinking about health, considering a positive concept and aiming to move away from the only biologicist and curative approach to health practices(1). The first international conference on the topic was held in Ottawa, Canada, in 1986. This meeting originated the Ottawa Charter, a key document used today as a basis for thinking about Health Promotion. It establishes five strategic axes for the realization of the ideals explained, including the creation of healthy public policies, health-friendly environments, development of personal skills, reorientation of health services and reinforcement of community action (social empowerment)(2-3). Curative actions are essential, practices guided by physical aspects make Health Promotion a secondary objective in these environments(4)
