Objective. To Identify the variables of illness behavior in a sample of Colombian patients with hemophilia A and to compare the results of groups (with chronic pain and without chronic pain chronic) for an analysis of relationships between variables. Methods. The approach was quantitative and its cross-sectional design. The methodology used was ex post facto retrospective type. A comparison groups (without chronic pain and chronic pain) was done for the statistical analysis. The disease behavior factor was evaluated through the Ballester and Botella Disease Questionnaire Conduct of 1993. The results obtained by the T-test, the Spearman correlation, the Mann-Whitney U test and the ROC curve. Results. Twenty-seven subjects diagnosed with haemophilia A diagnosed with a age range between 19 and 55 years were evaluated. Seventeen subjects formed the group with chronic pain and ten subjects the group without chronic pain. In conclusion, we found significant associations between chronic pain and variables related to emotional instability, as well as positive correlations with results of previous research on the characterization of the population with hemophilia.
