I think took longer for Hama to master bloodbending (compared to Katara) because:

1. She discovered the technique herself, whereas Katara was taught.

2. I assume that during her imprisonment, Hama was malnourished, emotionally numb, and weak.

3. Katara has knowledge of the human body (as stated above)

4. Katara was a fast learner (also stated above) and talented waterbender.

5. Aang and Sokka were in a life or death situation... and people do incredible things to save those they love.

So honestly, it's not that odd that Katara was able to pick up the skill so easily,
