    The study evaluated the effects of an exercise program and video education on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation in hemodialysis patients.

  • 2

    Eighty-eight patients with newly created forearm AVFs participated, with 43 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group.

  • 3

    The intervention group showed significantly improved brachial artery flow, larger diameters, and higher maturation rates compared to the control group.

  • 4

    The optimized exercise program reduced median maturation time and enhanced functional readiness for hemodialysis without increasing complication rates.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that combining exercise training with video-assisted education may be a beneficial strategy for AVF care in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
