Introduction: The World Health Organization [WHO] (2012) identifies dementia as a growing public health problem, with the family being the first line of care for people with this pathology. The Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention (MDAIF) constitutes a theoretical and operational reference, guiding the nursing process, which intends to respond to the needs of nurses in caring for families, in the development of family-centered practices. (Figueiredo, 2009, 2012).
Objective: Analyze the impact of the care provided by the specialist nurse in family health nursing, with the family as the unit of care.
Methods: Case study, descriptive and exploratory, in the context of UCSP, with the MDAIF being the theoretical and operational reference. As data collection, in depth interviews were carried out. All ethical principles were taken into account.
Results: The following nursing diagnoses in need of intervention were identified: residential building not safe, marital satisfaction not maintained, role of care provider not adequate, dysfunctional family process. Implementation of interventions arising from the expression of emotions, role saturation and coping using narrative therapy.
Conclusion: This study made it possible to identify the needs of the family and the interventions that promote change. We verified the effectiveness of the implemented interventions. We recognize the MDAIF as an essential tool for Nurses in assessing and intervening in the family as a unit of care.
