Statistical analysis was described and inferential, using Cronbach alpha to evaluate the reliability of data, the Man-Whiney and Kruskall-Wallis non-parametric tests in order to check the difference in the classifications of independent groups, and the analysis of variance by ANOVA, when the value was significant. In order to promote the comparison and the study of data, it was used a score of stress and classified into 6 areas: relationship (A), unit functioning (B), staff administration (C), nursing assistance (D), unit coordination (E) and work conditions (F). The stress level was classified in low (under 3,0), medium (from 3,1 to 4,0), alert (from 4,1 to 5,9) and high (above 6,0). The sample was eminently feminine (91,6%); young (80,2% under 40 years old); from 2 to 5 years after finishing a graduation course (34,6%); has worked at ICU for 5 years as assistant nurses (87,8%), has worked in general ICU (71,5%), Latu-Sensu post-graduated (74,5%), and 38,8% has worked in Northeast States. The individual score stress of nurses varied from 2,41 to 5,21 considered from medium to alert. The stress score among Regions in decrescent order was: Southeast >Center-West >North >Northeast >South. After analyzing the six areas, the classification was: C >F >E >D >B >A, and it was independent of geographical localization. Having an after-graduation to areas C and D was statically significant (p<0,05) in which was found difference to nurses of Southeast with high level of stress comparing to the ones in Northeast. Then the answer to stressors in ICU depends on the individual evaluation and staff administration is a stressor in all Brazilian Regions
