The conceptions that professionals have about health promotion are fundamental to the practice. The study aimed to know the conceptions about health promotion and the interface of nursing care in Family Health. Descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, carried out with eight nurses from the Centers for Family Health of Fortaleza-CE. We used the focal group for data collection. The analysis was performed by means of discursive practices, having as resource maps of association of ideas. The conceptions of health promotion, as evidenced by nurses, now permeate the biomedical model of disease prevention, either by promotion, trumpeted in the Ottawa Charter. In conceptions of the traditional model, the actions are restricted to the health sector with a focus on healing and disease prevention. The conceptions of the model of health promotion approach the concept of quality of life, supporting the interdisciplinary and intersectoral actions.
