This is a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-measurements. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (IG) ( n  = 48) or to a control group (CG) ( n  = 41). IG patients were subject to a structured intervention on self-care with AVF (SISC-AVF) consisting of both a theoretical and a practical part. After SISC-AVF application, patients in the IG showed better overall self-care behaviors with AVF than patients in the CG (79.2% and 91.4%, respectively, p
