Data were collected through an online questionnaire intentionally by reference network and analyzed according to the "Thematic Content Analysis". Results: there is a relationship between health literacy, health promotion and self-care; use of dialogue as an essential method; and lack or insufficient approach on the subject during training. Conclusion: nurses partially understand health literacy, but consider it a strategy for health promotion aimed at disease prevention and self-care.
