Methods: The study is quantitative, descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional, with a sample of 25 families. In the evaluation of the family process was followed the operative matrix of the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention. Data collection was organized through semi-structured interviews. Results: The person with Multiple Sclerosis is mostly female (76%), with the most referenced limitations being extreme fatigue (80%), spasticity and weakness (44%). The person identified as a caregiver is mostly female (56%), spouse / partner (48%). Within the family process, families are mostly functional. Conclusion: Having knowledge of the characteristics and needs of each family will allow the family nurse a more targeted and specific intervention.porMultiple sclerosisCaregiverFamily nurseFamilyconference object
