abstract="BACKGROUND: The Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B) is considered a validated questionnaire to evaluate quality of life after burn. The purpose of this study was to translate the BSHS-B into Spanish and perform its cross-cultural adaptation. <br><br>METHODS: First, BSHS-B was translated from English into Spanish. Subsequently, 84 patients answered the Spanish version of BSHS-B and SF-36 scales to assess the reliability (Cronbach's alpha), construct validity (Spearman rank test), and stability in time (intra-class correlation coefficient). <br><br>RESULTS: The BSHS-B-Sp showed a good internal consistency with a global Cronbach's alpha of 0.96. Correlations between the major domains of BSHS-B and SF-36 are reported with Spearman's coefficient ranging from 0.29 to 0.87 in all sub-domains (p < 0.01). Stability in time was confirmed by intra-class correlation coefficient (0.91-0.99 for every sub-domain and 0.98 for global score, p < 0.001). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version of the BSHS-B demonstrated an appropriated internal consistency, construct validity, and stability in time. This fact supports its applicability to evaluate the quality of life of burn patients. Level of evidence: Not gradable © 2022, The Author(s).<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
