Summary:
The aim of the present study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt The Hand Scleroderma Experienced Experience (HAnDE) Scale into the Turkish language and investigate its reliability and validity in Turkish-speaking patients with systemic sclerosis.

Primary Outcome Measures: HAnDE-T, The Hand Scleroderma Lived Experience Scale. HAnDE is a PROM scale developed by Sibeoni et al. to assess the patient's current situation regarding his/her lived experience of global hand involvement. It consists of 16 questions that patients answer by giving a score between 0 and 4. While 0 means "I do not agree at all", 4 means "I completely agree." The total score of the HAnDE is determined by the sum of all answers given. The total score ranges from 0 to 64. Higher scores indicated higher hand involvement., Patients were asked to complete the HAnDE-T when they first came (baseline). After 1 week, they were asked to complete HAnDE-T for retest.
Secondary Outcome Measures: MHISS, The Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis Scale. MHISS is a scale developed by Mouthon et al. to quantify the handicap associated with mouth disability in patients with SSc. The MHISS consists of 12 questions to assess mouth-related disability. Patients responded to each question by giving a score of at least 0 and maximum 4. MHISS includes three domains: mouth opening, mouth dryness and esthetic concerns. The score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating more limitations. The Turkish version of the MHISS was shown to be valid and reliable., Patients were asked to complete the MHISS when they first came (baseline).|SF-36, 36-Item Short Form Survey. The SF-36 is a general quality of life assessment scale widely used to assess the quality of life. It was developed by the Rand Corporation in 1992. The SF-36 is a scale consisting of 8 sections and 36 items, including physical functionality, role limitations due to physical health problems, pain, social functionality, general health status, role limitations due to emotional problems, energy/vitality and mental health. The scale gives the total score for each subscale separately. The total score ranges from 0 to100. 0 indicates "poor health" status, 100 indicates "good health" status. The Turkish version of the SF-36 was shown to be valid and reliable., Patients were asked to complete the SF-36 when they first came (baseline).|HAQ, Health Assessment Questionnaire. HAQ is an instrument developed to evaluate physical disability in 8 domains of the function: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activity. HAQ has been validated in patients with scleroderma. HAQ has 20 items in which patients evaluate their daily living activities by scoring between 0 and 3. The score of the test is determined by dividing the total scores given by the number of questions and varies between 0 and 3. The Turkish version of the HAQ was shown to be valid and reliable., Patients were asked to complete the HAQ when they first came (baseline).
