“…This indicates that the instruments studied are sensitive to capture the impacts of dysphonia in a similar way for men, women, voice professionals or not, regardless of the type of dysphonia presented. This is confirmed by the literature (18,(22)(23)(24) . Only for the VoiSS there was a difference in relation to gender.…”

Purpose To compare the efficiency of different vocal self-assessment instruments for dysphonia screening. Methods 262 dysphonic and non-dysphonic individuals participated in the research. The mean age was 41.3 (±14.5) years. The diagnosis of dysphonia was based on the auditory-perceptual analysis of the sustained vowel “é” and on laryngological diagnosis. The responses of the instruments were collected: Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL), Voice Handicap Index (VHI), VHI-10, Voice Symptoms Scale (VoiSS), and the Brazilian Dysphonia Screening Tool, (Br-DST) called in Brazilian Portuguese Instrumento de Rastreio da Disfonia (IRDBR). To analyze assertiveness in relation to the presence of dysphonia, the cutoff points of each instrument and the decision rule recommended by the IRDBR were used. An exploratory analysis was performed to compare mean scores of instruments and verify associations between variables. Results The instruments evaluated were sensitive to capture the impact of dysphonia in a similar way regardless of professional voice use and type of dysphonia. There was a difference only in VoiSS scores for the variable gender, with a higher score for females. Regarding global assertiveness, the instruments showed high rates of success in classification, with emphasis on the VoiSS, which had the highest rate (86.3%), followed by the IRDBR (84.0%), VQL (80.9%), VHI (78.2%), and VHI-10 (75.2%). Conclusion The VoiSS has the highest assertiveness index in the identification of dysphonia, followed by the IRDBR. The IRDBR is a short, simple, and easy-to-apply tool for screening procedures.

“…Only for the VoiSS there was a difference in relation to gender. The scores were higher for females than for males, a fact that may be related to the higher prevalence of dysphonia and vocal symptoms in women due to the anatomophysiological predisposition that women have to develop voice problems (22)(23)25) .…”

“…According to this study, the gender variable is not related to the adherence of vocal therapy and did not influence the results of VAPP, which corroborates the literature (3,20) , although women show a higher prevalence of voice problems compared to men, as well as increased susceptibility to vocal impact due to biological differences of the larynx between genders (23) , and vocal overload due to women's multiple working hours (24) . Having undergone prior speech therapy had no association statistically significant with the adherence stage and average scores of VAPP.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a associação entre a adesão da terapia vocal, perfil de atividades vocais em pacientes disfônicos comportamentais e seus possíveis fatores associados. Método Participaram da amostra dezoito indivíduos com disfonia comportamental que estavam em tratamento regular no Serviço de Fonoaudiologia da instituição. Os participantes do estudo responderam ao protocolo Perfil de Participação e Atividades Vocais (PPAV) e à escala URICA-VOZ. As variáveis associadas (número de sessões, faixa etária, tipo de disfonia comportamental, gênero e tratamento fonoaudiológico anterior) foram coletadas por meio de entrevista com o paciente e análise dos seus respectivos prontuários. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística inferencial. Resultados A maioria dos pacientes encontrava-se no estágio de ação. Houve associação estatisticamente significante entre o aspecto Efeitos na Emoção do PPAV e os estágios de prontidão para a adesão da terapia vocal, porém os outros aspectos do PPAV não se associaram com a escala URICA-VOZ. Das variáveis associadas, o número de sessões, faixa etária e tipo de disfonia comportamental apresentaram associação com a adesão da terapia de voz. Constatou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre o tipo de disfonia comportamental e os escores do PPAV. Conclusão O aspecto Efeitos na Emoção do PPAV e as variáveis número de sessões, faixa etária e tipo de disfonia mostraram-se associadas ao estágio de adesão da escala URICA-VOZ. Os indivíduos com disfonia organofuncional apresentaram maior impacto da alteração vocal em suas atividades diárias.

Objectives:The present study sought to investigate whether voice activity and participation profiles differ according to the patterns of professional voice use upon controlling for presence of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFL), gender, and severity of voice disorders. Methods: A total of 120 patients with BVFL and 120 normal controls were recruited for this study. Each participant was divided into four groups (30 participants for each group) according to the levels of professional voice use: elite vocal performer (group I), professional voice user (group II), non-vocal professional (group III), and non-vocal non-professional (group IV). The Korean version of the Voice Activity and Participation Profile (K-VAPP) and the GRBAS scale were performed. A multiple regression analysis was performed to predict each K-VAPP subscale score. Results: Upon controlling for presence of BVFL, gender, and severity, group I showed higher score in the job subsection (β = 8.231, p < .001), whereas group II showed higher scores in the total score (β = 26.647, p = .002), activity limitation score (β= 9.639, p = .002), participation restriction score (β= 11.376, p = .001), and subsections of job (β= 7.124, p < .001) and social communication (β= 4.553, p = .001) compared to the reference group (IV). On the contrary, group III did not show difference compared to the reference group. Conclusion: The current results indicated that subjective voice complaint of professional voice users is not less than that of elite vocal performers. Further research pertaining to more detailed profiles of various professions is needed.
