INTRODUCTION. The Dynamic Model for Assessment and Family Intervention (MDAIF), as an operative theoretical referential underlying the assessment and family intervention practices, was adopted for the family nursing specialty, in Portugal. OBJECTIVE. To assess the impact of the professional practice of MDAIF on the assessment and family intervention practices of Primary Healthcare Nurses. METHODS. A study descriptive case. Forty-nine nurses were invited to participate in the pre-training moment and forty-three in the post-training. Participants were asked to sign a written informed consent and were delivered an open-question form applied in the two moments. The data retrieved were submitted to content analysis with a posteriori categorization. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. In the pre-training moment, the most common family assessment practices were: “Areas of attention MDAIF”, “Evaluative data of the MDAIF”; “Attention Individual areas”; and for the most common family intervention practices”, “action”; “client”; “health programmes”; “prevention levels”. After the training: “MDAIF dimensions”; and “individual areas of attention”, with occasional incidence. In the family intervention, the categories identi'ed were: “MDAIF areas of attention” and “action”. It is well known that knowledge transfer into practice in family health nursing is a challenge and that only a relatively small percentage of the training is e*ectively applied, however, in this study it is possible to observe that training had a positive impact in practice changes. The actions focused on care provided to each member of the family changed to care targeted at the family as a client. CONCLUSION. Training has enabled knowledge transfer to professional performance.
