The purpose of this study was to translate the BSHS-B into Spanish and perform its cross-cultural adaptation. 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 stabil ity in time (intra-class correlation coefcient). 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 coefcient ranging from 0.29 to 0.87 in all sub domains (p<0.01). Stability in time was confrmed by intra-class correlation coefcient (0.91–0.99 for every sub-domain and 0.98 for global score, p<0.001). 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.
