Pneumothorax represents the accumulation of air or gases in the pleural space, resulting in the collapse of a part or the entire lung. It can be divided into spontaneous and traumatic, and the treatment can be surgical or nonsurgical. The care of a nurse/technician for a patient with pneumothorax involves health status assessment, provision of psychological and emotional support, alleviation of physical symptoms, and education of the patient and their family. Alongside pneumothorax, patients often experience other problems, particularly anxiety and fear, where it is necessary to provide psychological support and involve the family. An important role is also in conversation with the patient and family to understand the causes of fear and worry, educate the patient and family about the importance of expressing fear, help them face it, and provide them support. It is also essential to educate them about the condition itself, and techniques and skills needed for normal functioning during hospitalization, as well as providing appropriate instructions for functioning after the patient is discharged for home care.
