The percentage of nurses with high skills and moderate skills was 45% and 55%, respectively. Application skills were associated with nursing process application (OR = 3.205; 95% CI = 1.355 - 7.584). Workplace atmosphere (OR = 0.157 95% CI = 0.062 - 0.395). Stress during working hours with causes from managers (OR = 0.325; 95% CI = 0.142 - 0.743) and causes from colleagues (OR = 0.295; 95% CI = 0.129 - 0.674 were factors that affected the application skills of intensive care nurses. Conclusion: The results showed that the rate of correct knowledge and high application skills and the application of nursing process was still at an average level. Workplace atmosphere and stress during working hours were factors that affect nurses' application skills, and application skills were related to the application of nursing process in clinical practice.
