This study has provided an insight into the patient's recollections about helmet-CPAP treatment during a worldwide pandemic. The findings suggested strict applications of interventions aimed to reduce some issues that participants reported, to improve their compliance to treatment. Results from this study could help nurses in understanding the needs of patients treated with helmet-CPAP and may foster a care focused on patient-centred outcomes.
