%X Objective: This study aimed to identify the nurses' knowledge about the ecosystem approach in the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU). Method: Characterized as a descriptive-exploratory research, with a qualitative approach. The subjects were three nurses who worked more than one year in this space in Santa Maria, RS. The data was collected in August and September 2011. We used thematic analysis to examine the research findings. Results: In the categorization two themes emerged: Ecosystem Approach in the Intensive Therapy Unit and Intensive Therapy Unit as a healthy and sustainable environment. It was emphasized that the knowledge-based ecosystem paradigm enables the understanding of complex space activities of the ITU through the interactions of its constituents. Conclusion: Thus, a systemic view, when considering the multiple dimensions of the integral elements of that space / environment and their interactions, it is appropriate to enhance the dynamics of the constant changes in this workspace.
