Abstract

Background

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.

Methods

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.

Results

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.

Conclusion

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.

使用烧伤特定健康量表-简要作为烧伤后生活质量的衡量标准-临床医生应该期望得到多少分?

临床医生如何确定烧伤后可接受的生活质量(QoL)恢复水平?许多人使用烧伤特定健康量表(BSHS)。本研究的目的是检验BSHS-Brief (BSHS-B)问卷在普通人群中的规范性价值。方法随机抽取2例未烧伤人群。每个人完成身体问题或从BSHS-B问卷改编的一般问题。结果在124名完成身体问题的受试者中，73%的人认为自己是36/36。组平均(SD) = 34.8(2.9),中等(差)= 36(35-36)16-36范围。年龄增长与身体能力下降相关(p = 0.016)。相比之下，回答一般问题的105名受试者中，7.6%的人获得了满分(84/84)。组平均(SD) = 71.3(13.8),中等(差)= 76(66 - 80),10 - 84不等。结论研究显示，非烧伤人群在BSHS-B的所有问题上都没有得到满分的回答。在与心理和环境因素相关的非身体问题中，结果更为显著。提出的数据提示临床医生收集和定义可接受的恢复生活质量烧伤后，由BSHS-B测量当地烧伤人群。

期刊介绍： Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice. Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
