description Objective:It was aimed to compare self-care agency of refugee and native populations in chronic hemodialysis patients.Methods:The study was conducted with 33 refugees and 48 native patients in the hemodialysis unit of a training and research hospital in our country. Data were collected through face-to-face questionnaire. IBM SPSS statistics program was used to evaluate the data.Results:In the study, there was a significant difference between two populations in terms of drug use (p=0.041, p<0.05) and selfmonitoring (p=0.048, p<0.05), which were sub-dimensions of the self-care scale, but there was no significant difference between two populations in terms of the total self-care agency scores (p=0.768). It was determined that there was no significant correlation between the sub-dimensions of self-care agency and the year the refugees lived in our country and the months they underwent hemodialysis (p>0.05).Conclusion:It was observed that in chronic hemodialysis patients, the situation of meeting their self-care was the same in the refugee and native populations, while the refugees were insufficient in the use of drugs and the native population in self-monitoring. It is thought that it is necessary to get support from a hospital interpreter in order to eliminate language problems while giving self-care training to refugees, and it is thought that it will be appropriate to conduct the study with groups with different chronic diseases.
