Users share their health information, experiences, symptoms reviews about health products, medicines and doctors through social media.

The study is intended to reveal the needs of patients and their relatives from Facebook groups. For this purpose, Facebook group named “Kanserle Dans” -which has the most users- was chosen. Posts that are made on different times are divided into categories using the content analysis method. The messages shared by the people who have been diagnosed with cancer and their relatives can be categorized as “asking for pray”, “sharing feeling”, “asking for experience sharing”, “asking physician advice”, “questions about side effects” and “insurrection”. It was understood that 50.7% of the messages shared by Facebook groups were directed towards the need for information, while 49.3% were aimed at dealing with their spiritual needs.
