Abstract

Objective: to unveil the strategies developed by nurses in promoting health to youths. Methods: Action Research carried out with 34 young people aged between 15 and 29 years. Data collection was done through the conversation circle and in-depth interview. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: in the category Medicalization in health and the rupture of paradigms: the nurse in the territory of care, young people expressed pluralities in meanings and experiences in ways of thinking and acting. As educational strategies are carried out, the discourse based on the biomedical model gives space to the perception of the importance of care models highlighted in health promotion strategies. Conclusion: a dialogic and welcoming approach, through educational strategies, enables health promotion and strengthens the bonds created in health care spaces, considering, above all, the protagonism of these young people.
