Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT) - Turkish Version: Assessment using the Turkish version of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT) for validity and reliability evaluation; no treatment is applied.

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT) in adults with a history of hand burns. The participant population will include adults aged 18 years and older who have experienced unilateral or bilateral hand burns and can read and understand Turkish.The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does the Turkish version of the BHOT demonstrate high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity? How strongly are BHOT scores associated with objective hand function measures such as grip strength and sensory evaluation? Participants will not be assigned to comparison groups, as this is a methodological validation study.

Participants will: Complete a sociodemographic information form. Complete the Turkish version of the BHOT and the QuickDASH questionnaire. Undergo objective assessments including hand grip strength using a dynamometer and sensory evaluation using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. Participate in repeated assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for reliability analyses.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT) — Baseline , 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
  Total score of the Turkish version of the Burnt Hand Outcome Tool (BHOT-T), a patient-reported outcome measure assessing functional, aesthetic, sensory, and psychosocial outcomes in adults with hand burns. The BHOT-T consists of 20 items, each scored on a Likert scale. Total scores range from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating worse outcomes / greater negative impact of hand burns on hand function and quality of life.
• Construct Validity of Burnt Hand Outcome Tool-Turkish — baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
  Construct validity will be assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor structure of the Turkish version of Burnt Hand Outcome Tool.
