Body image dissatisfaction is a source of stress after burns and it is important to attempt to objectively measure this aspect. Unfortunately, there are no Swedish questionnaires to assess satisfaction of appearance after burns.
The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Satisfaction With Appearance Scale (SWAP) into Swedish from American English to be used in the context of burn care.
The SWAP was translated and cross-cultural adapted inspired by the guidelines by Guillemin. Pre-testing with 13 burn patients was conducted and 90 patients tested the questionnaire in order to determine its psychometric properties.
Cronbach's alpha was 0.89 indicating a high level of internal consistency of Swedish SWAP. Test for construct validity showed that length of hospital stay, more severe burns and female gender generated significantly higher scores in SWAP-Swe. The principal-components analysis found similar subscales according to the original SWAP that together accounted for 68% of the total variance.
SWAP-Swe is a reliable and valid instrument for use in a Swedish speaking population. The questionnaire was perceived to be relevant for usage in the context of burn care and is well understood by the patients.
身体形象不满是烧伤后压力的一个来源，客观测量这一方面很重要。不幸的是，瑞典没有用于评估烧伤后外观满意度的问卷。
本研究的目的是将外观满意度量表（SWAP）从美式英语翻译、进行文化调适并验证为瑞典语，以用于烧伤护理。
根据吉耶曼的指南对SWAP进行翻译和跨文化调适。对13名烧伤患者进行了预测试，并让90名患者测试该问卷以确定其心理测量特性。
克朗巴哈系数为0.89，表明瑞典版SWAP具有高度的内部一致性。结构效度测试表明，住院时间、更严重的烧伤和女性在瑞典版SWAP中得分显著更高。主成分分析发现了与原始SWAP类似的子量表，这些子量表共同占总方差的68%。
瑞典版SWAP是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于瑞典语人群。该问卷被认为与烧伤护理相关，患者也能很好理解。
