The paper is one of the publications presenting the Polish part of the study on the EASY-Care questionnaire. The study was carried out as the multi-centre project "Supporting Clinical Outcomes in Primary Care of the Elderly". The EASY-Care Questionnaire is an instrument to assess the health care needs and social situation of older people for use in primary care.
To identify the main providers of help to the frail community-dwelling elderly people aged 75 years and over.
Cross-sectional questionnaire study, survey.
Community-dwelling elderly people living in the administrative borders one of the community health care centres in Białystok-city.
117 randomly selected people aged 75 years and over; the interviewers were doctors and nurses, serving the studied area.
Elderly Assessment System EASY-Care, version 1997,98.
81 persons of the studied group (69.2%) were ADL-dependent. Most of the elderly people in need of care were women, more often with the suspicion of depression and with cognitive impairment. Most of the caregivers (80%) of the frail community-dwelling elderly people 75 and over were family members living together (42%), living apart (21%) or it was wife/husband (17%). Almost 10% of the ADL-dependent elderly had no carer at all. The category of carers fulfilling all of the needs of the care recipient were more often the spouse. The role of the public care providers was marginal.
The family is still the basic source of support and the central element in the care system for the elderly in Poland. The family is insufficiently supported by formal and informal carers.

确定75岁及以上社区居住体弱老年人的主要帮助提供者。
横断面问卷调查研究。
居住在比亚韦斯托克市一个社区卫生保健中心行政辖区内的社区居住老年人。
117名随机选取的75岁及以上老年人；访谈者为服务于研究区域的医生和护士。
1997、98版老年人评估系统EASY - Care。
研究组中有81人（69.2%）日常生活活动能力依赖他人。大多数需要护理的老年人是女性，更常伴有抑郁嫌疑和认知障碍。75岁及以上社区居住体弱老年人的大多数照顾者（80%）是共同居住的家庭成员（42%）、分开居住的家庭成员（21%）或配偶（17%）。几乎10%日常生活活动能力依赖他人的老年人根本没有照顾者。完全满足受照顾者所有需求的照顾者类别中配偶更为常见。公共护理提供者的作用微不足道。
在波兰，家庭仍然是老年人护理系统中支持的基本来源和核心要素。家庭在正式和非正式照顾者方面得到的支持不足。
