The Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention (MDAIF) aims to constitute itself as a reference that promotes clinical decision processes based on systemic proposition. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in nurses’ perceptions about the assumptions of family intervention after the training process centered on this referential. This is an exploratory and quantitative study with a sample of 553 family nurses who participated in the “MDAIF” training, organized by the Northern Regional Health Administration, until 2017. A 10 item Likert scale was used with responses between 1 “totally incompetent and 7” “fully competent”, based on MDAIF and applied in the pre and post training periods. T-test was performed for paired samples using SPSS version 23.0. There were very significant statistical changes regarding the perception of competence in all items evaluated, and participants after training perceived with higher competence on the assumptions of family intervention. The results confirm the importance of formative processes based on family health nursing theoretical references. May contribute to the development of family-centered practices as a client, as well as to investigate the health returns resulted from them.
