“…The scale showed excellent internal consistency with recommended cronbach's alpha above 0.8 [21]. The coefficient of 0.93 for overall scale score reflected good homogeneity of the translation which is similar to finding of the original scale and similarly with other versions as well [9,11,22]. The high index of 0.96 was found for the domain of hand function.…”

Background: Burns are a global health problem affecting the survivors and disrupting many aspects of their lives. It is the second most common injury in rural Nepal accounting 5% of disabilities. Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS) is a valid and most commonly used tool to measure Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of the patient with Burns. BSHS-B (Brief) has been translated, culturally adapted and validated in multiple languages but not in Nepali. Therefore we aim to translate, culturally adapt and validate the BSHS-B in Nepali language (BSHS-B-Np). Methods: Standard guideline was followed to translate the scale into Nepali language. One hundred eleven participants were evaluated to establish the psychometric properties of BSHS-B-Np. Internal consistency, test retest, content validity, discriminant validity and construct validity were assessed using Cronbach's alpha, Interclass correlation coefficient, Factor analysis, Spearman rank test, and Mann-Whitney U test respectively.Results: The Cronbach's alpha for BSHS-B-Np was 0.93. Test retest inter-class correlation coefficient was between 0.92 and 0.98. The principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation resulted in separation of nine factors explaining 75.19% of total variance. BSHS-B-Np showed good discriminant validity in 35 out of 36 domain correlations confirming the construct of the scale. Furthermore, the scale was able to discriminate between face, upper limb and lower limb injury (p < 0.05).Conclusions: BSHS-B-Np is a reliable and valid scale for Nepali burns survivors to assess their health related quality of life.

“…The BSHS-B is a 40 items a shortened scale with clinically meaningful factor domains improving the clinical use of the scale [7]. The scale has been translated, culturally adapted and validated in multiple languages [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Currently there is no validated Nepali version of BSHS-B available.…”

“…Mean scores per domain were assessed and high scores refer to a good perceived health status. Of the 47 studies that used the BSHS-B or BSHS-R, 17 could be used to analyze HRQL recovery patterns [ 19 , 26 , 38 , 40 , 49 , 60 , 64 , 67 , 76 , 81 – 83 , 88 , 90 , 91 , 102 , 105 ] ( S1 Fig ).…”

Health related quality of life in adults after burn injuries: A systematic review

ObjectivesMeasurement of health-related quality of life (HRQL) is essential to qualify the subjective burden of burns in survivors. We performed a systematic review of HRQL studies in adult burn patients to evaluate study design, instruments used, methodological quality, and recovery patterns.MethodsA systematic review was performed. Relevant databases were searched from the earliest record until October 2016. Studies examining HRQL in adults after burn injuries were included. Risk of bias was scored using the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool.ResultsTwenty different HRQL instruments were used among the 94 included studies. The Burn Specific Health Scale–Brief (BSHS-B) (46%), the Short Form–36 (SF-36) (42%) and the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D) (9%) were most often applied. Most domains, both mentally and physically orientated, were affected shortly after burns but improved over time. The lowest scores were reported for the domains ‘work’ and ‘heat sensitivity’ (BSHS-B), ‘bodily pain’, ‘physical role limitations’ (SF-36), and ‘pain/discomfort’ (EQ-5D) in the short-term and for ‘work’ and ‘heat sensitivity’, ‘emotional functioning’ (SF-36), ‘physical functioning’ and ‘pain/discomfort’ in the long-term. Risk of bias was generally low in outcome measurement and high in study attrition.ConclusionConsensus on preferred validated methodologies of HRQL measurement in burn patients would facilitate comparability across studies, resulting in improved insights in recovery patterns and better estimates of HRQL after burns. We recommend to develop a guideline on the measurement of HRQL in burns. Five domains representing a variety of topics had low scores in the long-term and require special attention in the aftermath of burns.

“…Six instruments were specifically developed for the use in children (one generic, five disease specific, of which three on burn scarring). The most frequently appraised instruments were all burn-specific HRQL instruments: the Burns Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B 16,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] ), Burn Specific Health Scale-Abbreviated (BSHS-A [26][27][28][29][30] ), and Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised (BSHS-R [50][51][52][53] (Table 2; Supplemental Digital Content 3). Of the instruments that were specifically for the use in children, the Burn Outcome Questionnaire 5 to 18 (BOQ 5-18 y) was the one most frequently appraised [22][23][24] (Table 2; Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/TA/B547).…”

BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a key outcome in the evaluation of burn treatment. Health-related quality of life instruments with robust measurement properties are required to provide high-quality evidence to improve patient care. The aim of this review was to critically appraise the measurement properties of HRQL instruments used in burns. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google scholar to reveal articles on the development and/or validation of HRQL instruments in burns. Measurement properties were assessed using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments methodology. A modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation analysis was used to assess risk of bias (prospero ID, CRD42016048065). RESULTS: Forty-three articles covering 15 HRQL instruments (12 disease-specific and 3 generic instruments) were included. Methodological quality and evidence on measurement properties varied widely. None of the instruments provided enough evidence on their measurement properties to be highly recommended for routine use; however, two instruments had somewhat more favorable measurement properties. The Burn-Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B) is easy to use, widely accessible, and demonstrated sufficient evidence for most measurement properties. The Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profiles were the only instruments with high-quality evidence for content validity. CONCLUSION: The Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (burn-specific HRQL) and the Brisbane Burn Scar Impact Profile (burn scar HRQL) instruments have the best measurement properties. There is only weak evidence on the measurement properties of generic HRQL instruments in burn patients. Results of this study form important input to reach consensus on a universally used instrument to assess HRQL in burn patients.
