Abstract
to identify nurses' competences in promoting women's health. descriptive study with a qualitative approach that adopted the Galway Consensus as a theoretical-methodological framework. Data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews. 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. 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.
Highlights
The Family Health Strategy (FHS) emerged as a branch of expansion and qualification of access to actions and services within the scope of Primary Health Care and allowed for greater interaction and approximation of activities within a delimited territory in order to propose improvements for coping with problems identified in loco[1]
The FHS is characterized by a set of health actions, in the individual and collective spheres, covering health promotion, protection, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, harm reduction, and health maintenance, to improve the situation of people’s health[2]

Summary
The Family Health Strategy (FHS) emerged as a branch of expansion and qualification of access to actions and services within the scope of Primary Health Care and allowed for greater interaction and approximation of activities within a delimited territory in order to propose improvements for coping with problems identified in loco[1]. The presence of nurses in the FHS is essential for the dissemination and consolidation of this health care strategy, as well as for the reorganization of the care model This is because the nurse has essential attributions, which, as a whole, range from the organization of the activities of the FHS to the direct care assistance of the individual, family, and community[3]. Among these attributions are health promotion actions, which aim to support, understand and guide, more broadly, the methods and strategies for individuals to maximize control over their own health. It is important that nurses are prepared, as of their training process, to perform such actions through competences, so that there are positive results among the population receiving care[4,5]
