Abstract

Objective: to analyze the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the concept of health promotion competencies. Methods: concept analysis according to the Conceptual Analysis Model and operationalized through an integrative review of databases using the descriptors “clinical competence,” “professional competence,” and “health promotion,” which considered the analysis of 40 studies. Results: competencies in health promotion articulate knowledge, skills, and attitudes fundamental to effective health promotion practice, anchored in the principles and values of health promotion and in an ethical and cultural basis that recognizes the particularities and needs of individuals and their territories. These competencies contribute to continuous, high-quality professional development. Conclusion: the concept of health promotion competencies encompasses attributes, antecedents, and consequences related to advancing health promotion practices, bringing together essential elements to elucidate it and facilitate its translation across political, theoretical, practical, and research domains. Contributions to practice: the adoption of health promotion competencies strengthens the theoretical and practical field, aligns with international guidelines, and enhances the effectiveness of practices, favoring quality of life and well-being. Clarifying this concept contributes to professional practice by offering subsidies for its application.
