Summary

The goals of this study are to design, implement, and evaluate the effects of a nurse-led intervention on the frailty and quality of life of older persons living in the community in Ethiopia. The main hypothesis aims to test the following:

1. Effects of a nurse-led intervention on frailty, including physical, social, and psychological domains of older persons living in the community in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.
2. Effects of a nurse-led intervention improve the quality of life among the older persons living in the community of Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

The nurse-led intervention consists of six independent interconnected education sessions focused on specific topic areas consisting of ageing and age-related changes, healthy nutrition, physical activity, mental health, social interaction, and support, and lastly an overall discussion on the intervention. The intervention is delivered one-on-one and face-to-face to the family homes of older people living in the community by specialist nurses who are community health workers (CHWs). Each CHW will be provided with a notebook to record the progress of each participant undertaking the program and any questions that need to be followed up at a subsequent session.
