abstract="This is a study of the quality of life as performed on a sample of 115 Spanish patients treated for burns in the Burn Care Unit of the Alicante General Hospital. Through the application of the sole existing scale for measuring quality of life specific to burn patients, the following percentages of alterations were obtained: 9.7% in physical domains; 14.2% in body image; 27.4% in psychological domains; and 22.5% for the complete scale. Results similar to those published by the original authors of the scale have been encountered by us and we are now able to confirm that the questionnaire &quot;adapted and validated&quot; in Spanish is equally capable of measuring changes in quality of life of the group studied herein.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
