AVF complications, such as thrombosis and infection, are common and can disrupt treatment, increase morbidity, and diminish patients\u2019 quality of life. Effective self-care and management of AVF are essential to minimize these risks, but many patients lack adequate knowledge and skills to perform necessary self-care practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate a fistula self-care bundle's effect on hemodialysis patients\u2019 complications<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Quasi-experimental design (study\/control) study was conducted in the dialysis unit at Assiut University Hospital.
