This cross sectional study was performed on 1041 seasonal farmworkers who were accepted to participate in the study, and who were living in tent regions took place in Education and Research area of Eskisehir Osmangazi University during 2014 summer period. An inquiry was used to collect information about seasonal agricultural workers’ tent regions, age, and sex, health care institutions they applied during the season and the number of applications, the reasons for application, the diagnosis and the treatment. The frequency of application to the primary health care institutions was lower than the applications to secondary health care institutions. According to the results of multiple logistic regression analysis, age groups and the distance of the tent region to health care institutions were found as effective independent variables in applying to primary health care institutions. The frequency of application to the secondary health care institutions in 6-14 age group was lower than the age group of 0-5. Applications of women to secondary health care institutions were higher than men. Workers who are living in tent areas closer to centrum, preferred secondary health care facilities. Of the application to primary health institutions, 46.6% were in case of emergency situations (accident, injury), 38.5% were for illness, and 12.6% were for vaccination. Health issues are one of the many problems of the seasonal farm workers who go far away from home to work and spend most of the year in that region. The most important intervention in solving health-related problems of seasonal farm workers will be to canalize them to primary health care services where they can access to preventive health care services
