Aim: Identify in literature the application of models and theories of nursing in high complexity units. Methodology: search in scientiic literature database: Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL complete, Pubmed and Scielo, through “theories of nursing”, “critical care” in English and “teorías de enfermería”, “cuidado crítico” Spanish descriptors. 286 articles were selected initially, excluding 150 for not fulilling the selection criteria. 66 abstracts were read and 11 articles were inally selected, where the analysis was focused on the study of the application of models and theories. Results: it was revealed that there are studies where models and theories are applied in some care instances, however, there are very few instances that refer to their use in critical care units, just the theories of the Basic Human Needs of Horta, the model of Roy's Adaptation and Meleis's theory of transitions were applied in critical contexts. Conclusion: the review carried out allows to show the eforts for the clinical and research use of models and theories in highly complex units. However, there is also a large gap between clinical practice and application of nursing models and theories in Chile.
