The purpose of this study was to translate the BSHS-B into Spanish and perform its cross-cultural adaptation. Methods First, BSHS-B was translated from English into Spanish. Subsequently, 84 patients answered the Spanish version of BSHS-B and SF-36 scales to assess the reliability (Cronbach's alpha), construct validity (Spearman rank test), and stability in time (intra-class correlation coefficient). Results The BSHS-B-Sp showed a good internal consistency with a global Cronbach's alpha of 0.96. Correlations between the major domains of BSHS-B and SF-36 are reported with Spearman's coefficient ranging from 0.29 to 0.87 in all sub-domains (p PB Springer SN 0930-343X YR 2022 FD 2022-04-20 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/19664 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/19664 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 7, 2025
