Core Tip
Core Tip: Due to the absence of a unified standard for limb function exercises for arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in China, patients lack self-management awareness of AVFs. Therefore, this study focuses on the characteristics of patients during the peri-AVF period and conducts a phased limb function exercise under the guidance of the self-management education model. It was found that autonomous and regular phased limb function exercise during the peri-AVF period can improve the patients' ability to recognize and prevent symptoms of AVF, promote the maturation of AVF, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative swelling.
