  • Web-based cross-sectional study conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.
  • 522 valid questionnaires were collected from eligible patients undergoing haemodialysis.
  • Pathway analysis was employed to evaluate the relationship among KAP scores.
  • Patients showed adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices towards AVF care.
  • Knowledge directly influenced attitudes and practices, while attitudes positively impacted practices.
