Summary/Abstract: There are millions of refugees who feel anxiety about maintaining their lives due to the war, conflict and natural disaster that has taken place in their homeland, or who feel discriminated against for reasons such as race, language, religion and political thought, and who have been forced to leave heir homeland. These people who have left their homeland face many problems in the countries where they have taken refuge. The head of these problems is the problems encountered in health applications. In this context, the aim of our study is to identify the problems encountered in refugee health practices, to bring them to the surface and to reveal the importance of the criteria that reveal these problems. The importance degrees of the criteria to be determined were calculated using the AHP method. The most important reason for using the AHP method in this study is that the obtained criteria do not have any numerical values and it is one of the most effective methods that can be used to assign numerical values in order to determine the importance of value judgments belonging to these criteria. The most important criterion, starting from the main criteria among the criteria set out in refugee health practices from the results of the analysis conducted using the AHP method, is the demographic criterion. Sub-criteria, respectively, “gender”, “lack of knowledge of the patient's cultural background” and “financial difficulties” and the criteria with the lowest scores, respectively, “environmental criteria”, “age”, “access to medical history” and “adaptation and socialization” is that it has been revealed.
