dc.description.abstract End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients should be educated to maintain and preserve the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the best condition. The purpose of this work was to evaluate self-care frequency and factors that influenced such frequency. A prospective study was performed in 101 hemodialysis patients. Self-care behaviors were measured with the Scale of Assessment of Self-Care Behaviours with Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodialysis. A regression model was used to determine the relevant predictors of self-care frequency and their influence. The incidence of self-care behaviors was 71.0%. The regression model showed that self-care behaviors were positively influenced by gender (female), ESRD etiology (hypertension, polycystic kidneys and other kidney diseases), duration of AVF and negatively by the existence of previous AVF and health professional (doctor). The frequency of self-care behaviors was lower than expected and below an appropriate standard. Education programs designed to improve self-care behaviors with AVF should be further explored in a prospective randomized trial. en
