PURPOSE: Apply the educational software Fuzzy Kitten with undergraduate Brazilian nursing students. METHODS: This software, based on fuzzy logic, generates performance scores that evaluate the ability to identify defining characteristics/risk factors present in clinical cases, relate them with nursing diagnoses, and determine the diagnoses freely or using a decision support model. FINDINGS: There were differences in student performance compared to the year of the course. The time to perform the activity did not present a significant relation to the performance. The students' scores in the diagnoses indicated by the model was superior ( p = .01). CONCLUSIONS: The software was able to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of students. IMPLICATIONS: The software enables an objective evaluation of diagnostic accuracy. OBJETIVO: Aplicar o software educacional Fuzzy Kitten com graduandos de enfermagem brasileiros. MÉTODOS: Este software, baseado em lógica fuzzy, gera escores de desempenho que avaliam a capacidade do aluno em identificar características definidoras/fatores de risco presentes em casos clínicos, relacioná-las com diagnósticos de enfermagem e determinar diagnósticos de forma livre ou usando um modelo de apoio à decisão. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença no desempenho dos alunos em relação ao ano do curso. O tempo para realizar a atividade não apresentou relação com o desempenho. O escore dos alunos foi superior no diagnóstico gerado pelo modelo (p = ,01). CONCLUSÕES: O software permitiu avaliar a acurácia diagnóstica dos alunos. IMPLICAÇÕES: O software possibilita uma avaliação objetiva da acurácia diagnóstica.
