Results:
studies on this process demonstrate that nurses need sensitivity to understand the complexity of their social practice.
Final Considerations:
in their professional actions, nurses must mobilize political resources, making their knowledge, skills and attitudes available to their practices, aiming at power and improvement of conditions for the work of Nursing.

Objectives:
to adapt and validate the Leader Empowering Behavior scale for Brazilian Portuguese in a sample of Brazilian nurses.
Methods:
cross-sectional study through translation, back-translation, expert evaluation, application and analysis of content, criteria and construct of the scale.
Results:
the title of the final version was Comportamento Empoderador do Líder. The equivalence evaluation presented Content Validity Index of 89% among the 27 items of the original scale and was applied to 272 nurses. For the construct validation, psychometric analyzes were performed; through calculations of the measure of sampling adequacy, were excluded six items from the translated instrument; and in the factor analysis, four factors were retained. The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for the four domains and ranged from 0.82 to 0.87, demonstrating the scale reliability.
Conclusions:
the adapted version presented validity and reliability criteria for use in Brazil. Its use will make it possible to know the behavior of leaders to empower their team.

Objectives:
to understand how the empowerment of family caregivers of people with stroke occurs in the hospital environment.
Methods:
a qualitative research, participatory action research, articulated with Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary, developed in April 2018 with family caregivers, in a Stroke Unit.
Results:
three predominant codes were coded: the need for empowerment and autonomy to experience the care situation; the challenges experienced in becoming a caregiver; and family support. Participants presented a lack of information inherent to the care process, with distancing from empowerment to perform the function in dehospitalization. Dialogue revealed empowerment as a possibility for critical awareness and skill development.
Conclusions:
it highlights the importance of directing health promotion for caregivers, inserting them in the care process, recognizing their needs and intensifying practices that promote empowerment for care, bypassing curative actions.

Objective:
Identify the barriers and facilitators of health advocacy to users delivered by nurses from the Family Health Strategy.
Method:
Qualitative study carried out with nurses from the Family Health Strategy of a city in the south of Brazil. Study participants were 15 nurses, who were interviewed. The content of the interviews was recorded, transcribed and analyzed in the light of the discursive text analysis.
Results:
Two categories emerged, one about the lack of organization at the workplace, bureaucracy and limitations to professional work in health environments, and another about the facilitating aspects to exercise advocacy both individually and collectively.
Conclusion:
When nurses, provided with technical, scientific and relational knowledge, are empowered to make decisions, they are not only supported by other professionals at work but also develop actions of health advocacy to users, thus qualifying the care delivered.

Objective:
to analyze the process of empowerment of the mothers of children hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) according to Cheryl H. Gibson’s framework.
Method:
a qualitative study with a non-directive interview in groups was carried out with 14 mothers in the PICU of a pediatric teaching hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro, whose data were submitted to thematic analysis.
Results:
all mothers underwent at least one phase of the process of empowerment. Some of them achieved the phase of participatory competence in the care for their children, being heard by the team and expressing their needs, opinions, and questions.
Final considerations:
attentive listening and information sharing with mothers is necessary, in order to provide essential support so that they undergo the process of empowerment, thus involving themselves in care and decision-making regarding their children.

Objective:
To understand the resistance strategies adopted by undergraduate students in nursing, faced with situations of moral distress (MD).
Method:
Qualitative research, developed in three universities in the south of Brazil, two federal and one private, with 21 undergraduate students in nursing from December 2015 to February 2016; the data was submitted to the discursive textual analysis and Foucauldian theoretical reference.
Results:
Students resisting demonstrate a sense of self-preservation and moral empowerment. Moreover, non-resistance initiatives are related to the fear of possible sanctions. Thus, by resisting or not, students may experience both positive and negative repercussions.
Final considerations:
By resisting, students aim to defend what they believe to be right, demonstrating their moral empowerment in the face of their moral distress. However, the exercise of disciplinary power seems to contribute to their moral fragilization, making it difficult to implement resistance strategies.

Objective:
to analyze the care of self of female nurses and the power relations established by them in the care of other women.
Method:
integrative review of literature published between 2005 and 2015. There were 25 publications in the sample.
Results:
qualitative state of the art with reference domain of a liberating perspective, based on humanization, autonomy and empowerment as a risk reduction strategy in the practice of care to women. The findings suggest solidified power relations among female nurses and women, focused on professional domain concentrated on nurse education under the patriarchal and society's normalization discourse. Some studies consider the importance of understanding power in a capillary way, operating on the bodies of individuals.
Conclusion:
there is little discussion about the care of self of nurses and the effects on their professional practice, indicating gaps in knowledge in this field.
