Background: Frailty is considered as a complex concept involving a variety of physical, mental,
nutritional, and social aspects that are linked to adverse health outcomes in older adults. Aim: This
study aimed to evaluate the effect of health promotion intervention on daily living activities among
older adults with frailty. Subjects and Method: Design: A quasi- experimental design was utilized.
Setting: The study was carried out at Medicine and Cardiology Outpatient clinics at Benha
Teaching Hospital at Benha City in Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of 133 older adults was
included. Tools: Three tools were used in this study; I: An interviewing questionnaire composed of
four parts as older adults’ socio-demographic characteristics, medical history, older adults’
knowledge about frailty and older adults reported practices for health promotion. II: Frailty scale to
assess frailty degree among older adults. III: Barthel index scale to assess older adults’ activities of
daily living. Results: There was a highly significant improvement in the older adults’ total levels of
knowledge, reported practices and dependency levels of activities of daily living post and after three
