The current Primary Health Care reform is focused on e!ectiveness patterns, targeted at ensuring the best possible health gains for its users. In regard to this approach the aim is to assess health gains as a result of the implementation of the Dynamic Model for Assessment and Family Intervention. For this quantitative study, the focus of attention areas described in the operative dimensions of this Nursing Model. Data collection was performed based on the information produced by Primary Health Care Nurses, through the Information System in use. The family health gains indexes computed into the Microsoft O"ce Excel 2007 were used for data processing and analysis. In the structural dimension, the major health gains were found in the residential house (50%). In the development dimension, the interventions targeted at family planning were found e!ective for 85.19% of the families, with the adaptation to pregnancy showing the lowest rates in health gains (50%). As to the functional dimension, the highest rates in health gains were found for an adequate caregiver role in 33% of the families, whilst in the family process, health gains rates were at 5.56%. The implementation of the MDAIF had a positive impact on health gains outcomes for families, fostering the development of assessment and family intervention competencies as well as the identi#cation of training needs in speci#c intervention areas.
