How do clinicians determine the acceptable level of recovery of quality of life (QoL) after a burn? Many use the Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS). The aim of this study was to examine normative values of the BSHS-Brief (BSHS-B) questionnaire in the general population.
Two random samples of the non-burned public were taken. Each individual completed either the physical or the generic questions adapted from the BSHS-B questionnaire.
Of the 124 subjects who completed the physical questions, > 73% rated themselves 36/36. Group mean (SD) = 34.8 (2.9), median (IQR) = 36 (35-36), range 16-36. Advancing age was associated with reduced physical capability (p = 0.016). In contrast, 7.6% of the 105 subjects who answered the generic questions recorded a full score (84/84). Group mean (SD) = 71.3 (13.8), median (IQR) = 76 (66-80), range 10-84.
The study showed the non-burned population do not respond with full scores to all questions in the BSHS-B. The result was more notable in the non-physical questions related to the psychological and environmental factors. The data presented prompts clinicians to collect and define acceptable recovery of quality of life after a burn as measured by the BSHS-B for their local burn population.
临床医生如何确定烧伤后生活质量（QoL）可接受的恢复水平？许多人使用烧伤特有的健康量表（BSHS）。本研究的目的是检验一般人群中 BSHS-简短版（BSHS-B）问卷的常模值。
从非烧伤人群中抽取了两个随机样本。每个个体完成 BSHS-B 问卷改编的身体或一般问题。
在完成身体问题的 124 名受试者中，>73%的人给自己打了 36/36 分。组均数（SD）=34.8（2.9），中位数（IQR）=36（35-36），范围 16-36。年龄增长与身体机能下降有关（p=0.016）。相比之下，105 名回答一般问题的受试者中，有 7.6%的人得满分（84/84）。组均数（SD）=71.3（13.8），中位数（IQR）=76（66-80），范围 10-84。
研究表明，非烧伤人群不会对 BSHS-B 的所有问题都给出满分。在与心理和环境因素相关的非身体问题上，结果更为显著。所呈现的数据提示临床医生在其当地烧伤人群中使用 BSHS-B 收集和定义可接受的烧伤后生活质量恢复水平。
