Introduction: Choosing the appropriate teaching method that can cause meaningful and effective learning for learners is very important. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of conceptual map on the process of study in nursing students in intensive care unit internship.
Methods: This is a Quasi-experimental study.  Participants consist of 36 nursing students of Bandar Gaz Azad University, who were doing ICU internship and were selected by census method in 2023. The students were assigned to two groups of intervention and control. The students of the experimental groups were trained in the ICU department for 40 hours using a concept map. Questionnaires, including demographic information and revised two-factor study approach questionnaire, were completed before the start of the internship and on the last day of the internship by the students of the experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using U-Man- Whitney and T. Welch tests through SPSS( 21).
Results: Totally, 36 students with the age of (20-22) participated in this study. There was no significant differece between two groups regarding age, gender, mean score in the 7th semester and mean score on the pre-test. The results showed that the average score of the study process before the intervention was 65.05±8.18 in the experimental group and  60.55± 2.91 in the control group. Also, the average score of the study process in the test group after the intervention (68.83±6.38) was significantly higher than the control group (60.05±2.99) (p= 0.02 , t=-2.43). 
Conclusion: The score of the study process increased in students who received training with concept map; therefore, the concept map method promotes the meaningful learning of students and can be used in basic courses that require high-level learning.
