OBJECTIVE: To analyze the concept of Health Advocacy from the methodological framework of the Evolutionary Model. METHOD: The concept of interest was evaluated from the perspective of published studies identified in the databases: Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, MEDLINE and articles of interest. The attributes were determined from 19 scientific productions. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, proposed by Bardin. RESULTS: The following operational definition was obtained: Health Advocacy is an intentional action, implemented jointly and in favor of individuals and communities, especially for those who suffer from health inequalities, with the aim of preserving and improving health, well-being and empowerment for health promotion. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Thus, a broader concept of Health Advocacy was abstracted, from the micro to the macro, which contemplates the development of the patient's autonomy; includes individuals and groups in care plans and involves them in political activities as possibilities to provide assistance and correct health inequalities.
