AB  - INTRODUCTION: Progressive increases in survival rates from burn trauma have 
      shifted attention to patient rehabilitation and posttraumatic quality of life. 
      The assessment of quality of life is strongly dependent on reliable instruments 
      for its measurement. A literature review has revealed that the Burn Specific 
      Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B) questionnaire is the most commonly used instrument 
      worldwide. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to translate the BSHS-B into the 
      Portuguese language, adapt it culturally to the Brazilian population, and test 
      its psychometric properties. METHODS: The questionnaire was translated into 
      Portuguese; culturally adapted; and tested for reproducibility, face validity, 
      content validity, and construct validity. The translated version was tested on 92 
      patients with burns. Internal consistency was tested by means of Cronbach's 
      alpha. Construct validity was performed by correlating the BSHS-B questionnaire 
      with the Burn Specific Health Scale-Revised (BSHS-R), BurnSexQ-Escola Paulista de 
      Medicina (EPM)/Universidade Federal De Sao Paulo (UNIFESP), the Rosenberg 
      Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS: 
      Cronbach's alpha was 0.85. The Pearson correlation coefficients were significant 
      at three time points of the reliability analysis. A significant correlation was 
      observed between BSHS-B domains and BSHS-R, and between RSES and BDI domains. A 
      significant correlation was also observed between BSHS-B and the 
      BurnSexQ-EPM/UNIFESP social comfort and body image domains. CONCLUSION: The 
      BSHS-B questionnaire was translated into Portuguese. It is a reliable tool in 
      this language, showing face, content, and construct validity. The modified 
      instrument has been named BSHS-B-Br.
