    ObjectiveTo study the viability, reliability, and validity of the Spanish version of the Burn-Specific Health Scale.MethodsThe questionnaire was cross-culturally adapted and translated and its psychometric properties were tested regarding their viability, reliability, and validity. A total of 115 patients discharged from the Burn Care Unit of the Alicante General Hospital were included in the study.ResultsOne hundred fifteen patients were interviewed and completed a total of 156 questionnaires. Of these, 112 were self-administered (71.79%) by the patient, with an average completion time of 12 to 13 minutes (SD = 3.44 minutes). The test-retest reliability, internal consistency, criterion validity, and construct validity all proved satisfactory.ConclusionThe Spanish version of the Burn-Specific Health Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for use in the Spanish population, and its results are perfectly comparable with those obtained in the original English version.
