Self-Care Behavior of Hemodialysis Patients With Arteriovenous Fistula in China: A Multicenter, Cross-Sectional Study.

Improving the level of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) self-care behavior by people receiving hemodialysis is an effective way to reduce the occurrence of complications and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the self-care behavior of Chinese patients undergoing hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula. The assessment of self-care behaviors with arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis (ASBHD-AVF, Portuguese version) was translated into Chinese using Brislin's translation model.
