Questionnaire for Patients with Hemophilia

Dear Respondents,

My name is Veronika Horváthová and I am a student at the Faculty of Health and Social Work of St. Ladislav in Nové Zámky. This questionnaire is part of my bachelor’s thesis entitled “Management of a patient with hemophilia.”

The aim of this questionnaire is to obtain information about the experiences, knowledge, and ways of managing the disease among patients with hemophilia, in order to better understand patients’ needs and propose recommendations for practice.


The questionnaire consists of several sections:

1. Personal data- basic information about age, gender, and type of hemophilia.

2. Knowledge about hemophilia- questions concerning your knowledge of the disease, its symptoms, and treatment.

3. Information and treatment- questions focused on how well you understand your treatment and how you manage it.

4. Self-management- questions about your practical skills in managing hemophilia (e.g., factor administration, bleeding plan, physical activity).

5. Experience with healthcare- questions about cooperation with the healthcare team, availability of treatment, and social support.

6. Participation in a patient organization- questions about membership in a hemophilia association and its benefits for you.


Your answers will be anonymous and used only for the purposes of this bachelor’s thesis. The questionnaire is not time-consuming and takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Please answer honestly and according to your real experiences. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers - the aim is to obtain a realistic picture of hemophilia management and support improvements in patient care.


Thank you for your time and willingness to participate in this survey!
