Materials and Methods: The universe of this descriptive cross-sectional study consists of individuals over the age of 16 who are registered in the home health services unit of Bursa Ali Osman Sönmez Oncology Hospital. No sample was selected in the study, and all patients in the last year were evaluated. The data were taken from the patient information forms in the computer environment. Results: Between July 2022 and July 2023, 655 patients who requested home health services were reached. The mean age of the patients was determined as 82.4. It was observed that 57% (n=373) of the patients were female and 43% (n=282) were male. As a result of the evaluation according to the Barthel Index, 66 (9.3%) of the patients were fully dependent, 482 (67.6%) were severely dependent, 165 (22.9%) were moderately dependent and 2 ( 0.3% was found to be mildly dependent. Conclusion: The prolongation of life expectancy at birth, the most important public health problem that we will encounter in our developing world with new diagnoses and treatments, is the increasing number of patients over 65 years of age, with more than one chronic disease and in the fragile group who need care. Each service to be provided to the vulnerable group will help the person to take care of himself/herself, and will reduce the burden of caregivers.
