ABSTRACT

Introdução: percepção do indivíduo sobre sua voz e impactos no cotidiano tem sido objeto de estudos que buscam a relação entre qualidade de vida e bem-estar. Objetivo: analisar a relação entre qualidade de vida e presença de distúrbio de voz em docentes da rede municipal de São Paulo. Método: estudo do tipo caso-controle, pareado por escola, com 272 professoras da rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo (167 casos e 105 controles), responderam questionários Condição de Produção Vocal-Professor e World Health Organization Quality of Life/bref, avaliados fonoaudiológica e otorrinolaringológicamente. Foi realizado teste de associação de Qui-quadrado para análise entre a presença de distúrbio de voz e os domínios do WHOQOL/bref. e modelos de regressão logística para calcular a Razão de Chances bruta e ajustada para avaliar riscos em relação às variáveis independentes de interesse. Resultados: os grupos mostraram-se semelhantes quanto a dados sociodemográficos, situação funcional, ambiente e organização de trabalho, e diferentes na autorreferencia a sintomas vocais, confirmando a natureza de estudo caso-controle. Na análise descritiva de cada um dos domínios do WHOQOL/bref, o referente ao meio ambiente apresentou pior média, seguido pelo físico, psicológico e relações sociais. O domínio físico apresentou significância estatística se comparado aos outros domínios, seguido pelo psicológico e do meio ambiente. Não houve diferença significativa sobre as relações sociais. Conclusão: houve associação entre presença de distúrbio de voz e comprometimento do domínio físico da qualidade de vida, havendo um aumento de chances de quase três vezes de quem tem distúrbio vocal apresentar baixos escores no referido domínio.


Introduction: the individual's perception of their voice and impacts on their daily lives has been the object of studies that seek the relationship between quality of life and well-being. Objective: to analyze the relationship between quality of life and the presence of voice disorder in teachers from the municipal network of São Paulo. Method: case-control study, paired by school, with 272 teachers from the municipal education network of São Paulo (167 cases and 105 controls) using questionnaires Vocal Production Condition-Teacher, World Health Organization Quality of Life/bref, speech therapy and otorhinolaryngological assessment, test of Chi-square association, logistic regression models to calculate the crude and adjusted Odds Ratio to assess risks in relation to the independent variables of interest. Results: the groups were similar in terms of sociodemographic data, functional situation, work environment and organization, and different in terms of self-reference to vocal symptoms, confirming the nature of a case-control study. In the descriptive analysis of each of the WHOQOL/bref domains, the one referring to the environment had the worst average, followed by the physical, psychological and social relationships. The physical domain was statistically significant when compared to the other domains, followed by the psychological and environmental domains. There was no significant difference on social relationships. Conclusion: there was an association between the presence of voice disorder and impairment of the physical domain of quality of life, with an increase of almost three times the chances of those who have voice disorder to have low scores in that domain.


Introducción: la percepción que tiene el individuo de su voz y los impactos en su vida diaria ha sido objeto de estudios que buscan la relación entre calidad de vida y bienestar. Objetivo: analizar la relación entre la calidad de vida y la presencia de trastorno de la voz en docentes de la red municipal de São Paulo. Método: estudio de casos y controles, pareado por colegio, con 272 docentes de la red de educación municipal de São Paulo (167 casos y 105 controles), respondieron los cuestionarios Condición de Producción Vocal-Docente y Calidad de Vida de la Organización Mundial de la Salud / bref y evaluaron logopedia y otorrinolaringología. El análisis estadístico incluyó la prueba de asociación de chi-cuadrado y modelos de regresión logística. Resultados: en los grupos, similitudes en cuanto a datos sociodemográficos, situación funcional, ambiente, organización del trabajo y diferencias en la autorreferencia a los síntomas vocales, confirmando la naturaleza de un estudio de casos y controles. En el análisis descriptivo de los dominios WHOQOL / bref, el medio ambiente tuvo el peor promedio, seguido de las relaciones físicas, psicológicas y sociales. Para el dominio físico, significación estadística en comparación con los otros dominios, seguido de psicológico y ambiental. En las relaciones sociales, no hubo diferencia significativa. Conclusión: hubo asociación entre la presencia de trastorno de la voz y el deterioro del dominio físico de la calidad de vida, con un aumento de casi tres veces las posibilidades de que quienes tienen trastorno de la voz tengan puntuaciones bajas.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: apesar das questões relacionadas à voz do professor serem muito pesquisadas, poucas iniciativas de intervenção na modalidade remota têm sido analisadas. Objetivo: avaliar o conhecimento de informações referentes ao autocuidado sobre a voz, na perspectiva de professores, que concluíram o curso "Promovendo o Bem-Estar Vocal do Professor" realizado pela Escola Municipal de Saúde de São Paulo, na modalidade on-line. Método: pesquisa, de natureza observacional e transversal, analisou as respostas de 162 participantes dadas a um questionário apresentado no início e ao final de um curso que contou com oito módulos e três encontros presenciais (total 40 horas). Por meio de análise estatística foi comparado o conhecimento de informações e práticas de autocuidado com a voz. Resultados: diferença estatisticamente significativa foi registrada ao final do curso, com relato de maior conhecimento sobre os cuidados para manter a voz saudável; como a voz é produzida; uso de recursos de expressividade verbal e não verbal; observação da interferência das emoções na voz e pensar em estratégias para melhorar o ambiente de trabalho. Os exercícios de aquecimento e desaquecimento vocal e os de ressonância foram praticados por um número de sujeitos aquém do esperado. Conclusão: os professores que participaram do curso "Promovendo o Bem-Estar Vocal do Professor", em sua maioria, foram sensibilizados, com registro de maior conhecimento sobre a produção da voz e autocuidado. Alguns ajustes devem ser feitos na oferta deste curso a próximas turmas, quanto à realização e incorporação no dia a dia das práticas apresentadas.


Introducción: aunque los temas relacionados con la voz del docente están ampliamente investigados, se han analizado pocas iniciativas de intervención en la modalidad remota. Objetivo: evaluar el conocimiento de la información relacionada con el autocuidado de la voz, desde la perspectiva de los docentes, quienes completaron el curso "Promoción del Bienestar Vocal del Docente" impartido por la Escuela Municipal de Salud de São Paulo, en la modalidad en línea. Método: investigación, observacional y transversal, analizó las respuestas de 162 participantes entregadas a un cuestionario presentado al inicio y al final de un curso que incluyó ocho módulos y tres encuentros presenciales (total 40 horas). Mediante análisis estadístico se comparó el conocimiento de la información y las prácticas de autocuidado con la voz. Resultados: se registró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa al final del curso, con un reporte de mayor conocimiento sobre el cuidado para mantener una voz sana; cómo se produce la voz; uso de recursos de expresividad verbal y no verbal; observación de la interferencia de las emociones en la voz y pensar en estrategias para mejorar el clima laboral. Los ejercicios vocales de calentamiento y enfriamiento y los ejercicios de resonancia fueron practicados por un número de sujetos por debajo del esperado. Conclusión: los docentes que participaron en el curso "Promoción del Bienestar Vocal del Docente", en su mayoría, fueron sensibilizados, con un historial de mayor conocimiento sobre producción de voz y autocuidado. Se deben realizar algunos ajustes en la oferta de este curso para las próximas clases, en cuanto a la realización e incorporación en las prácticas del día a día presentadas.


Introduction: although issues related to the teacher's voice are extensively researched, few intervention initiatives in the remote modality have been analyzed. Objective: to assess the knowledge of information related to self-care about the voice, from the perspective of teachers, who completed the course "Promoting the Teacher's Vocal Well-Being" conducted by the Municipal Health School of São Paulo, in the online modality. Method: research, observational and transversal, analyzed the responses of 162 participants given to a questionnaire presented at the beginning and at the end of a course that included eight modules and three face-to-face meetings (total 40 hours). Through the statistical analysis, knowledge of self-care information and practices was compared with the voice. Results: a statistically significant difference was registered at the end of the course, with a report of greater knowledge about care to maintain a healthy voice; how the voice is produced; use of verbal and non-verbal expressiveness resources; observation of the interference of emotions in the voice and thinking of strategies to improve the work environment. The vocal warm-up and cool-down exercises and the resonance exercises were practiced by several subjects below the expected. Conclusion: most of the teachers who participated in the course "Promoting Teacher's Vocal Well-Being" were sensitized, with a record of greater knowledge about voice production and self-care. Some adjustments must be made in the offer of this course to the next classes, regarding the realization and incorporation in the day-to-day practices presented.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the association between burnout syndrome and the likely presence of voice disorders among teachers from a public elementary school in the country town of Sergipe. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study in which 208 teachers completed the following questionnaires: the Condition of Vocal Production-Teacher (CPV-P), the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD), and the Burnout Syndrome Evaluation Questionnaire (CESQT). RESULTS: Of the 208 teachers, 76.9% were women, 77.9% came from rural areas, and 64.4% were likely to have a voice disorder. Teachers with a career length of over 15 years were almost twice as likely to have a voice disorder. Of the symptoms listed in the SIVD, the following were most prevalent: dry throat (88.1%), hoarseness (84.4%), and fatigue when speaking (82.1%). Among the burnout subscales, psychic exhaustion was the most common (30.3%). Analyses revealed that probable voice disorder was associated with psychic exhaustion with an odds ratio of 1.78 (P < 0.001, χ2 = 84.1%). Teachers with positive scores on two to four burnout subscales had an odds ratio of 4.01 (P = 0.013, χ2 = 86.2%) for a probable voice disorder compared with those with positive scores on zero to one subscale. CONCLUSIONS: The present results confirmed that burnout syndrome was associated with the presence of a probable voice disorder.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Frequentemente associamos a ocorrência de sintomas vocais a fatores presentes no ambiente ou na organização de trabalho dos diversos profissionais. Objetivo: após a adaptação de instrumento utilizado anteriormente com professores, analisar as condições de ambiente e de organização do trabalho em atores, associadas à referência a sintomas vocais. Método: atores com mínimo de dois anos de vivência teatral responderam questionário com foco nos aspectos do ambiente, organização do trabalho e funcionais da produção vocal. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva e inferencial (associação entre variáveis - teste do Qui-quadrado; p<0,05). Resultados: 100 atores, sendo 56% do sexo masculino, idade média de 30,8 anos (dp=8,6) e tempo de atuação profissional de 8,9 anos (dp=6,1). 49 sujeitos procuraram atividade complementar que também exigia demanda vocal por não conseguirem se manter financeiramente como ator. O principal sintoma vocal foi o pigarro (68), seguido por garganta seca (54) e voz grossa (45). Observou-se associação estatística significativa entre ritmo de trabalho estressante e o assédio moral com a voz fraca (respectivamente, p=0,030 e p=0,048). Atores que admitem interferência das questões de trabalho em sua saúde apresentaram essa relação como fator protetor para os sintomas tosse com secreção (OR=0,40; p=0,044), garganta seca (OR=0,42; p=0,042) e rouquidão (OR=0,30; p=0,011). Conclusão: poeira e ruído foram os principais fatores ambientais citados e esforço físico intenso e ritmo estressante dentre os relacionados à organização do trabalho. Os sintomas mais referidos foram pigarro, garganta seca, voz grossa e tosse seca, sendo que o pigarro foi diretamente associado ao ruído.


Introduction: The occurrence of vocal symptoms is often associated with factors present in the environment or in organization of work of various professionals. Objective: to analyze the environmental conditions and work organization in actors associated with vocal symptoms reference, after the adaptation of an instrument previously used with teachers. Method: actors with a minimum of two years of theatrical experience answered questionnaire regarding aspects of vocal production environment, work organization and functionality. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially (association between variables ­ Chi-squared-test; p <0.05). Results: 100 actors, 56% male, mean age of 30.8 years (SD = 8.6) and professional experience of 8.9 years (SD = 6.1). 49 subjects sought complementary activity that also demanded vocal demand for not being financially able to keep themselves as an actor. The main vocal symptom was clearing throat (68), followed by dry throat (54) and rough voice (45). Significant statistical association between stressful work and weak voice moral harassment (p = 0.030 and p = 0.048, respectively) was observed. Actors who admit interference of work matters in their health presented this relationship as a protective factor for secretion cough (OR = 0.40, p = 0.044), dry throat (OR = 0.42, p = 0.042) and hoarseness (OR = 0.30, p = 0.011) symptoms. Conclusion: dust and noise were the main environmental factors cited, intense physical effort and stressful rhythm among those related to work organization. The most commonly reported symptoms were throat clearing, dry throat, rough voice and dry cough, with clearing directly associated with noise.


Introducción: A menudo asociamos la aparición de síntomas vocales a factores presentes en el ambiente o en la organización del trabajo de los diversos profesionales. Objetivo: después de adaptar el instrumento utilizado anteriormente con profesores, analizar las condiciones del ambiente y de la organización del trabajo de actores, asociadas con la referencia a síntomas vocales. Método: actores con mínimo de dos años de vivencia teatral respondieron a un cuestionario con foco en los aspectos del ambiente, de la organización del trabajo y funcionales relativos a la producción vocal. Los datos fueron analizados de forma descriptiva e inferencial (asociación entre variables - prueba del Chi-cuadrado, p <0,05). Resultados: 100 actores, siendo 56% del sexo masculino, edad media de 30,8 años (dp=8,6) y tiempo de actuación profesional de 8,9 años (dp=6,1). 49 sujetos buscaron actividad complementaria que también exigía demanda vocal por no conseguir mantenerse financieramente como actor. El principal síntoma vocal fue el carraspeo (68), seguido garganta seca (54) y voz gruesa (45). Se observó asociación estadística significativa entre ritmo de trabajo estresante y el acoso moral con la voz débil (respectivamente, p=0,030 y p=0,048). Actores que admiten la interferencia de cuestiones de trabajo en su salud, presentan esa relación como factor de protección para los síntomas: tos con secreción (OR=0,40; p=0,044), garganta seca (OR=0,42; p=0,042) y ronquera (OR = 0,30, p=0,011). Conclusión: polvo y ruido fueron los principales factores ambientales citados y esfuerzo físico intenso y ritmo estresante entre los relacionados a la organización del trabajo. Los síntomas más referidos fueron carraspeo, garganta seca, voz gruesa y tos seca, siendo que el carraspeo fue directamente asociado al ruido.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to identify the health education practices used during Voice Campaigns in Brazil between 2005 and 2013. STUDY DESIGN: This was a descriptive retrospective research study. METHODS: We analyzed materials from 28 Voice Campaigns carried out between 2005 and 2013. The document analysis technique was used, and the campaigns were categorized as dialogic and unidirectional. The SPSS version 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The southeast region of the country had the highest number of campaigns; however, there were more institutions involved in the south region. A total of 19 different strategies were used, involving nearly 10 million participants in total. There were 2.8-fold more unidirectional campaigns than dialogic campaigns. The trend analysis showed a significant increase in the number of campaigns over the years (average increase of 1.58 dialog campaigns/year and 4.13 unidirectional campaigns/year). CONCLUSIONS: The activities in the Voice Campaign, associated with dialog, followed the precepts of health education; however, these campaigns must be systematized according to the needs of the population to develop strong and efficient strategies.

ABSTRACT

A definição de caso é de crucial importância em estudos epidemiológicos. Uma boa definição de caso deve identificar todos aqueles que têm o problema e excluir os que não o têm, tendo, portanto, boa sensibilidade e especificidade. Distúrbio de voz é um quadro de difícil mensuração por ser resultado de complexa interação fatores biológicos, psíquicos e sociais. Por ser manifestação dinâmica e funcional, a doença não pode ser definida em oposição à saúde, e sim, como parte de um mesmo processo. Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar a definição do conceito de distúrbio de voz por meio da presença de alterações nos exames perceptivo-auditivo da voz e perceptivo-visual da laringe, da autorreferência de sintomas vocais e do impacto da desvantagem do distúrbio de voz para o sujeito. A pesquisa foi realizada para definição de caso em estudo caso-controle, sendo a população composta por professoras da rede municipal de São Paulo. Todas se submeteram à avaliação de voz, de laringe, e responderam questionários Condição de Produção Vocal do Professor (CPV-P) e Índice de Desvantagem Vocal (IDV). Os resultados apontam que a amostra dividiu-se, de forma similar, em quatro grupos diferenciados em relação ao distúrbio de voz, pela presença de alteração nas avaliações fonoaudiológica e otorrinolaringológica, pela referência de sintomas, e em função do impacto causado pelo distúrbio na vida social e profissional.


Case definition is of crucial importance in epidemiological studies. A good case definition must identify all individuals that have the problem and remove all individuals who don't have it, therefore having good sensitivity and specificity. Voice disorder is a condition difficult to measure as a result from a complex interaction of biological, psychic and social factors. As a dynamic and functional expression, the disease cannot be defined in opposition to health, but as a part of the same process. This study aimed to analyze the definition of voice disorder concept through the presence of changes in the perceptual auditory analysis of voice and visual perceptual of larynx, as well as for tests concerning the self-reference of vocal symptoms and the impact of the voice disorder handicap for the individual. The research was conducted for case definition in case-control study, with the population composed by teachers from the municipal network of São Paulo. All individuals were submitted to voice and laryngeal assessments, and they answered the Condition of Vocal Production - Teacher (CPV-P) and Voice Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaires. The results indicate that the sample was divided, in a similar way, in four different groups with respect to voice disorder both by the presence of changes in the speech language therapy and otorhinolaryngological assessments, by the reference of symptoms, and as according to the impact caused by a disorder in the social and professional life.


La definición de caso es de vital importancia en los estudios epidemiológicos. Una buena definición de caso debe identificar aquellos que tienen el problema y eliminar todas las personas que no tienen el problema proporcionando así buena sensibilidad y especificidad. Trastorno de la voz es lo resultado de una compleja interacción de factores biológicos, psíquicos y sociales. Como una expresión dinámica y funcional, la enfermedad no puede definirse en oposición a la salud, sino como parte del mismo proceso. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la definición del concepto de trastorno de la voz a través de la presencia de cambios en el análisis auditivo perceptivo de voz y visual perceptual de laringe, además de pruebas de auto-referencia de los síntomas vocales y del impacto de la desventaja para el individuo. La investigación fue conducida por la definición del caso en estudio caso-control, con una población compuesta por los profesores de la red municipal de São Paulo. Todos los individuos fueron sometidos a evaluaciones de la voz y la laringe, y contestaron los cuestionarios de Condición de Producción Vocal - Profesor (CPV-P) y del Índice de Discapacidad Vocal (VHI). Los resultados indican que la muestra fue dividida, de manera similar, en cuatro grupos diferentes con respecto al trastorno de la voz, por la presencia de cambios en evaluaciones profesionales de logopedia y otorrinolaringología, por la referencia de los síntomas, y según el impacto causado por un trastorno de la voz en la vida social y profesional.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a associação entre distúrbio de voz e capacidade para o trabalho em docentes da rede municipal de ensino de São Paulo. Métodos: professoras que buscaram atendimento fonoaudiológico, com queixa de alteração vocal; e professoras selecionadas sem queixa, expostas ao mesmo ambiente de trabalho, passaram por avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz; preenchimento dos protocolos Índice de Capacidade para o trabalho e Condição de Produção Vocal do Professor; e avaliação perceptivo-visual da laringe. Foram classificadas como Caso as que tinham alteração na avaliação perceptivo-auditiva e em pregas vocais (167) e Controle as sem alterações nas avaliações (105). Resultados: a capacidade para o trabalho esteve entre baixa e moderada entre os casos (67,4%) e entre boa e ótima (66,6%) nas professoras do controle (escore total). Houve associação estatística em duas dimensões do ICT, apontando que as docentes com distúrbio de voz apresentaram quase três vezes mais chance de perder capacidade para o trabalho e que quanto pior a perda da capacidade, mais forte é a associação com o distúrbio de voz. Conclusão: há associação entre o distúrbio de voz e as dimensões capacidade atual para o trabalho comparada com a melhor de toda vida, indicando que os sujeitos que apresentaram distúrbio de voz estavam em sua pior capacidade para trabalhar, e perda estimada para o trabalho por causa de doenças, indicando que quanto maior a perda da capacidade para o trabalho, mais forte é a relação com o distúrbio de voz, independente da idade.


ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the association between voice disorder and work ability in teachers of public schools of São Paulo. Methods: teachers who searched for speech therapy, with voice alteration complaint; and selected teachers with no complaint who were exposed to the work environment and submitted to the auditory voice perception; completing the Work Ability Index and the Conditions of Vocal Production of Teachers protocols; and perceptive visual larynx evaluation. Those with changes in perceptual evaluation and vocal folds were classified as Case (167) and those without changes in evaluations (105) were classified as Control. Results: the work ability was from low to moderate among the cases (67.4%) and between good and great (66.6%) in the control teachers (total score). There was a statistical association in two WAI dimensions, pointing out that teachers with voice disorders were nearly three times more likely to lose their work ability and the worst the loss of ability, the stronger is the association with the voice disorder. Conclusion: there is an association between the voice disorder and the dimensions for current work ability compared with the best of lifetime, indicating that subjects who had a voice disorder were at their worst conditions regarding their work ability, and estimated loss for work due to illnesses, indicating that the greater the loss of work ability, the stronger is the relationship with the voice disorder, regardless of age.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the presence of videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and voice disorder (VD) in teachers. METHODS: this is a cross-sectional study with convenience sample and inclusion criteria as subjects 18 years or older, be a teacher female, seek care with complaint of VD and/or LPR. The exclusion criteria included smoking and presence of respiratory changes. All subjects concluded the following instruments: Vocal Production Condition - Teacher (VPC-T), including the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD); and Voice Handicap Index (VHI). Speech samples were collected for voice perceptual assessment and all of them were submitted to otorhinolaryngology review. RESULTS: We evaluated 121 teachers, with a mean age of 43 years and 7.8 class hours per day. Only 24.0% of the teachers did not have vocal cord lesions and 42.1% had videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of LPR. In the group of teachers with presence of Signs suggestive of LPR, the most common symptoms of SIVD were dry throat, hoarseness, throat clearing; the average VHI was 17.9 points. There was no association between voice disorder and presence of videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of LPR. The independent factors for the LPR in the multiple binary logistic regression analysis were age and VHI score (tertile: 13-20). CONCLUSION: There was no association between VD and LPR, but between age and VHI score.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a relação entre a presença de sinais videolaringoscópicos sugestivos de refluxo laringofaríngeo (RLF) e distúrbio de voz (DV) em professoras. Métodos Pesquisa de natureza transversal, com amostra por conveniência que teve, como critérios de inclusão, ter mais de 18 anos, ser professor do sexo feminino, procurar atendimento com queixa de DV e/ou de RLF. Os fatores de exclusão foram: ser fumante e apresentar alterações respiratórias. Todos os sujeitos preencheram os seguintes instrumentos: Condição de Produção Vocal – Professor (CPV-P), inclusive o Índice de Triagem para Distúrbio de Voz (ITDV), e o Índice de Desvantagem Vocal (IDV). Fez-se coleta de amostra de fala para avaliação perceptivo-auditiva da voz e todas foram submetidas à avaliação otorrinolaringológica. Resultados Foram avaliadas 121 professoras, com média de idade de 43 anos e de 7,8 horas-aula por dia. Somente 24% das professoras não apresentaram lesões em pregas vocais e 42,1% apresentaram sinais videolaringoscópicos sugestivos de RLF. No grupo de professoras com presença de sinais de RLF, os sintomas do ITDV mais relatados foram garganta seca, rouquidão, pigarro, e a média do IDV foi de 17,9 pontos. Não houve associação entre distúrbio de voz e presença de sinais videolaringoscópicos sugestivos de RLF. Na análise de regressão logística binária múltipla, os fatores independentes para o RLF foram idade e escore (tercil: 13-20) do IDV. Conclusão Não houve associação entre o DV e o RLF e sim entre idade e escore IDV.


ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the relationship between the presence of videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and voice disorder (VD) in teachers. Methods this is a cross-sectional study with convenience sample and inclusion criteria as subjects 18 years or older, be a teacher female, seek care with complaint of VD and/or LPR. The exclusion criteria included smoking and presence of respiratory changes. All subjects concluded the following instruments: Vocal Production Condition - Teacher (VPC-T), including the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD); and Voice Handicap Index (VHI). Speech samples were collected for voice perceptual assessment and all of them were submitted to otorhinolaryngology review. Results We evaluated 121 teachers, with a mean age of 43 years and 7.8 class hours per day. Only 24.0% of the teachers did not have vocal cord lesions and 42.1% had videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of LPR. In the group of teachers with presence of Signs suggestive of LPR, the most common symptoms of SIVD were dry throat, hoarseness, throat clearing; the average VHI was 17.9 points. There was no association between voice disorder and presence of videolaryngoscopic signs suggestive of LPR. The independent factors for the LPR in the multiple binary logistic regression analysis were age and VHI score (tertile: 13-20). Conclusion There was no association between VD and LPR, but between age and VHI score.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To compare the responses related to vocal symptoms in two versions of the Vocal Production Condition - Teacher (CPV-T) questionnaire, with responses on a Likert scale and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), in order to evaluate which is the best measurement method. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with teachers with voice disorders during the period from July 2011 to July 2012. All teachers answered the CPV-T in two versions: with answers on a 4-point Likert scale and on a 50-mm VAS. The answers related to vocal symptoms dimension were analyzed. RESULTS: Most of the symptoms showed good (hoarseness, high-pitched voice, unstable voice, weak voice, effort when speaking, throat clearing, burning throat, and pain when speaking) or regular concordance (loss of voice, failing voice, low-pitched voice, vocal fatigue, dry throat, lump in the throat, secretion in the throat, pain when swallowing, difficulty swallowing, and dry cough). CONCLUSION: The CPV-T questionnaire with answers on Likert scale proved to be more suitable than the VAS owing to the ease of understanding and interpretation, in addition to facilitating the input of answers for the researcher. Therefore, the Likert scale was chosen for the CPV-T, considering it to be validated as the method to measure the answers. The dimension of vocal aspects evaluated in the present study, the Voice Disorder Screening Index (ITDV), can be used in epidemiological studies to estimate the prevalence of vocal symptoms and in the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology clinic routine or in monitoring teachers throughout their careers.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar as respostas referentes aos sintomas vocais em duas versões do questionário Condição de Produção Vocal - Professor (CPV-P), com respostas em escala Likert e em escala visual analógica (EVA), para avaliar qual é a melhor forma de aferição. Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal realizado com professoras em atendimento por distúrbio de voz no período de julho de 2011 a julho de 2012. Todas responderam ao questionário CPV-P em duas versões: com respostas em escala Likert de quatro pontos e em escala analógico-visual em régua de 50 mm. Foram analisadas as questões referentes à dimensão de sintomas vocais. Resultados: A maioria dos sintomas apresentou concordância boa (rouquidão, voz fina, voz variando, voz fraca, esforço ao falar, pigarro, ardor na garganta, dor ao falar) ou regular (perda de voz, falha na voz, voz grossa, cansaço ao falar, garganta seca, bola na garganta, secreção na garganta, dor ao engolir, dificuldade engolir, tosse seca). Conclusão: O questionário CPV-P com respostas em escala Likert mostrou-se mais indicado em relação às respostas em EVA pela facilidade de compreensão e interpretação, bem como por facilitar o registro das respostas para o investigador. Pelo exposto, opta-se pela recomendação de manutenção das respostas em escala Likert para o questionário CPV-P, considerando-se validado quanto à maneira de aferição das respostas. A dimensão de aspectos vocais avaliada no presente estudo, que hoje constitui o Índice de Triagem de Distúrbio de Voz (ITDV), pode ser utilizada em estudos epidemiológicos para estimar a prevalência de sintomas vocais bem na clínica fonoaudiológica ou acompanhamento de professores ao longo da carreira.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To analyze the television reports on the World Voice Day transmitted by Globo(r) TV. METHOD: We researched television reports broadcasted by Globo(r) Network in regional television news programs from March 15 to April 20, 2013. For the data analysis, the Document Analysis technique was used. The analyzed variables were the following: location, broadcasting period, duration, interviewed professional, mention of multiprofessional work, orientation to the population, and the interview approach (health promotion or disease prevention). Through statistical analysis, the interview approach was considered the outcome and associated with the other variables. RESULTS: On the regions where there are news programs for the researched TV station, the majority made reports about the Voice Campaign. Among these, we discovered that the five regions of Brazil were contemplated, in the morning/afternoon periods, with medium duration of 5.3 minutes. The presence of the speech-language pathologist was observed in greater numbers of the interviews, as also the emphasis on the importance of a multiprofessional work. Regarding the content presented, the interviewees focused on diseases caused by habits that impair the voice, with orientation to the public about what negatively interferes in the vocal well-being. CONCLUSION: The approach of the interviews was not, in the majority of times, of the same nature (promoting the vocal well-being or preventing voice disorder), and the interprofessional practice is still seen less frequently as a possible work strategy.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar reportagens televisionadas sobre o Dia Mundial da Voz veiculadas pela TV Globo(r). Métodos: foram pesquisadas reportagens veiculadas pela emissora Globo(r) em telejornais regionais, no período de 15 de março a 20 de abril de 2013. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a técnica de Análise Documental (AD), em que se destacavam as variáveis: localização, turno de veiculação, tempo de duração, profissional entrevistado, menção ao trabalho multiprofissional, orientações à população e o enfoque da entrevista como promoção de saúde ou prevenção de doença. Por meio de análise estatística, o enfoque da entrevista foi considerado desfecho e associado às demais variáveis. Resultados: Dentre os sítios em que são inseridos os jornais da emissora pesquisada, a maioria realizou reportagens sobre Campanha de Voz. Dentre essas, constatou-se que as cinco regiões do Brasil foram contempladas, no turno manhã/tarde, com duração média de 5,3'. A presença do fonoaudiólogo foi registrada em maior número, como também a ênfase na importância de se realizar um trabalho multiprofissional. Em relação ao conteúdo apresentado, os entrevistados deram enfoque a doenças acarretadas por hábitos que prejudicam a voz, com orientações à população sobre o que interfere negativamente no bem estar vocal. Conclusão: O enfoque das entrevistas não foi, em sua maioria, de uma mesma natureza (de promoção do bem estar vocal ou de prevenção ao distúrbio de voz) e a prática interprofissional ainda é vista com menos frequência, como uma estratégia possível de trabalho.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Teachers constitute a profession with a high occurrence of voice disorders due to the occupation's intense vocal demands and unfavorable work environment. PURPOSE: To identify the association between voice disorders and work ability among teachers from public schools in São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: This is a case-control study. The case group comprised teachers with voice disorder complaints, vocal quality deviations in speech pathology evaluations, and vocal fold lesions according to an evaluation by an otorhinolaryngologist. The control group was randomly selected from the same schools as those in the case group. Both groups answered the following questionnaires: sociodemographic, lifestyles, working conditions, work organization, conditions of vocal production-teacher (CVP-T), and Work Ability Index (WAI). The analysis used the chi-square association test and univariate and multivariate regression models. RESULTS: The analyses of both groups showed comparable populations with no significant differences in the demographic and control variables. The groups differed, as expected, in vocal symptoms. Analyzing associations with the WAI, there was an association between decreased work ability and voice disorder (P < 0.001). This association remained in multivariate analyses where decreased (OR = 9.5, P = 0.001) and moderate (OR = 6.7, P < 0.001) work ability were also associated with voice disorders. Analyzing the ability to work, age, and acoustics; decreased (OR = 12.2, P < 0.001) and moderate (OR = 7.7, P < 0.001) work ability, age 50-65 years (OR = 3.7, P = 0.006) and poor acoustics (OR = 2.7, P = 0.007) were factors associated with voice disorders. CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of voice disorders is significantly associated with work ability, which may eventually compromise teachers' ability to continue working.
