“…In terms of construct validity, previous studies already reported high correlations between the BSHS-B and measures of generic HRQoL [11,12,14]. In line with prior findings and consistent with our second aim, the three main BSHS-B domains were positively correlated with the SF-8 as a generic HRQoL measure (see Table 4).…”

“…By now, the BSHS-B is a widely used instrument that has been translated into Chinese [10], Hebrew [11], Italian [12], Persian [13], Polish [14], and Turkish [15]. Van Loey et al [16] examined the factor structure of the BSHS-B in a mixed sample of 506 Swedish, Dutch and Belgian patients after burn without taking into account the different countries.…”

“…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).…”

“…Relevance and comprehensiveness of the BSHS-B were rated inconsistent as a result of conflicting results of multiple studies (Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/ TA/B547). [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]48,49 The BSHS-B consists of nine subscales that have been confirmed in one study that used confirmatory factor analysis with an adequate sample size, which was therefore of very good quality. 45 Nevertheless, some studies that were of inferior quality because they used exploratory factor analysis and/or had an inadequate sample size showed other results, and therefore, the overall quality of structural validity was graded moderate.…”

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.

“…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.…”

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.
