Zasoby (potencjały) zdrowotne można określić jako specyficzne właściwości funkcjonalne człowieka i jego środowiska, które pełnią funkcję regulacyjną i prozdrowotną. Coraz częściej zwraca się uwagę na konieczność pomnażania zasobów zdrowia oraz ochronę ich przez całe życie. Powiązanie zdrowia ze stylem życia wymaga udzielenia pomocy jednostce w zakresie modyfikowania indywidualnych wzorów zachowań oraz kształtowania prozdrowotnego stylu życia, polegającego na świadomym podejmowaniu określonych działań, które zwiększają zasoby własnego zdrowia oraz eliminują zagrożenia. Kluczową rolę w tym procesie przypisuje się predyktorom poznawczym, takim jak poczucie umiejscowienia kontroli i przekonanie o własnej skuteczności.

Health resources (potentials) can be defined as specific functional properties of a person and his/her environment, acting as the regulatory and health prevention. Increasingly, the attention is drawn to the need of multiplying health resources and protecting them for a lifetime. Linking health with lifestyle requires providing the individual with the help of modifying individual behavior patterns and shaping a pro-health lifestyle based on conscious undertaking of specific activities that increase the resources of one's own health and eliminate threats. The key role in this process is attributed to cognitive predictors, such as the sense of location of control and belief in self-efficacy.

Background. Providing care to patients with low function agility in the home environment becomes a burden and leads to the worsening of the informal caregiver’s quality of life. Objectives. Aim of the research was to assess the quality of life of informal caregivers in the context of their burden linked to the care provided to chronically ill patients with low function agility in the home environment. Material and methods. Research was conducted in five public healthcare facilities, from September 2016 until February 2017, and included 138 informal caregivers. The WHOQoL-AGE scale was used to assess caregivers’ quality of life, and the COPE Index was employed to assessed caregivers’ burden. Results. According to WHOQoL-AGE, the average value of caregivers’ quality of life was 70.14 points. Caregivers’ burden according to the COPE Index Negative Impact of Care subscale was: M = 11.80; Positive Value of Care subscale: M = 13.71; and in Quality of Support subscale: M = 12.46. Statistical importance was at p ≤ 0.01 for WHOQoL-AGE scale, and the burden according to the COPE Index. Conclusions. Informal caregivers’ quality of life according to the WHOQoL-AGE scale corresponds significantly with caregivers’ burden according to the COPE-Index, in all of the analysed domains. Along with the increase of the negative influence of the care, general quality of life with all its subscales, as well as satisfaction, decreases. Caregivers’ quality of life increases along with the increase of the satisfaction connected to the provided care, and with receiving support from informal and formal healthcare
