The Primary Nursig model is characterized by having several competencies that can be used in intensive care units, a service that requires specialized personnel. Objective: Learn about the experience in the application of the Marie Manthey Primary Nursing Model in the Intensive Care Unit Method: A qualitative, descriptive, phenomenological study was conducted in which 12 interviews were conducted with nurses working in the intensive care unit using the inclusion criterion, professionals working in the intensive care unit with more than one year of service, excluding occasional professionals in the unit. The analysis of the interviews was carried out following the model based on the data, identifying categories and subcategories of the key informants' discourse. Results: There is little knowledge about the Marie Manthey model and its application in the ICU, however, professionals, without knowing it, apply some of its principles. Conclusion: The Primary Nursing model focuses on the nursing care that is given to the patient, taking the nurse as the one who is empowered by the absolute care of the patient, is why each of the pillars of this model are valued. It is important that studies continue to be carried out in order to increase knowledge of this model.
