Purpose: This meta-analysis has two aims: 1) to provide a quantitative assessment of the occurrence of voice disorders among different occupational voice users, 2) and to determine whether being an occupational voice user (teacher, broadcaster, call-center worker, etc.) is associated with an increased occurrence of voice disorders. Method: A random-effect meta-analysis of the available scientific literature was conducted on the occurrence of voice disorders among occupational voice users. Comprehensive literature searches were conducted using two computerized databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, and Scielo. As a measure of association, the odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used. Heterogeneity was assessed by chi-square and I2 and draw in forest plots. Results: Voice disorders are related with occupational voice use independently of type of prevalence with a pool OR of 2.39 for current voice disorders, 1.88 for 12-months prevalence, and 2.43 for life-time and unspecified recall period. Heterogeneity test (I2) among these articles is 68% for current voice disorders, 0% for 12-months voice disorders, and 66% for life-time and unspecified recall period. Although around 70% of the total number of included publications assessed the occurrence of voice disorders among teachers as occupational voice users, an analysis per occupation was performed to identify possible influence of this factor in the occurrence of voice disorders. Studies that include just teachers as the group of occupational voice users (n=12) reported ORs ranging from 1.20 to 4.61. Heterogeneity test (I2) among these articles is 17%. Studies that include telemarketers, newsreaders, and sellers as the group of occupational voice users (n=6) reported ORs ranging from 0.85 when future vocal professionals were compared future non-vocal professionals to 4.58 when newsreaders were compared with non-newsreaders. Heterogeneity test (I2) among these articles is 40%. Conclusion: Occupational voice users have a higher likelihood of having voice disorders. Results of this meta-analysis show that teachers had a slightly lower likelihood (pool OR=1.95) than telemarketers, broadcasters, and sellers (pool OR=2.75) for having a voice disorder regardless the type of prevalence. Nevertheless, due the weak to moderate quality of the included studies, the results should be taken with caution.

“…In this sense, in recent decades, there has been greater interest of researchers in understanding the communication used by workers in general (1,2) , including the lawyer, judge and prosecutor (3)(4)(5)(6)(7) . The legal practitioner must have a communication that can persuade the listener and conveys credibility too.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever a autoavaliação do promotor de justiça quanto à sua comunicação e reação do ouvinte e analisar a relação com o gênero, idade e anos de trabalho. Método Desenho descritivo, transversal. Foi elaborado um questionário e enviado aos 126 promotores, sendo devolvidos 33 questionários preenchidos. As variáveis independentes foram o gênero, idade e anos do exercício profissional. As variáveis dependentes foram a autoavaliação da comunicação ao longo dos anos de trabalho, os parâmetros de comunicação utilizados e a reação do ouvinte. Foi realizada análise descritiva e o Teste Exato de Fisher. Resultados A amostra foi constituída por ambos os gêneros, mediana de 43 anos de idade e 20 anos de trabalho. A maioria dos respondentes referiu que ao falar em público sente desmotivação, insegurança, tensão e dificuldade de persuadir o ouvinte. Houve maior proporção em mulheres de piora da comunicação ao longo dos anos de trabalho que em homens. Todas as mulheres relataram insegurança ao falar em público. Um terço dos promotores referiu alteração de voz. Os respondentes com mais de 43 anos de idade tiveram maior proporção de voz alterada que aqueles com idade menor. A maioria dos promotores com mais de 20 anos de trabalho revelou insegurança ao falar em público comparado com aqueles com idade menor. Conclusão Os promotores identificam seus parâmetros fortes e fracos da comunicação. O gênero, idade e tempo de profissão influenciam o desempenho comunicativo.

“…Majority areas of health that could disproportionately influence street children in childhood or later on as adults were investigated, including chronic diseases and cognitive deficits. Sales et al (2010) evaluated voice characteristics of children engaged in street selling, which involves an essentially professional implication of voice in this population. They reported that street children had more normal voice but had more nasal disorders and bigger glottal closure than the school control group.…”

This paper presents a social work study on relationship between various family characteristics and street children in rural area as well as city of Esfahan, Iran. The proposed study selects a sample of 150 street children, 75 from city and 75 from rural area, and using some statistical tests verifies the effects of three factors including family income, place of residency and family size on street children. The results indicate that the city residence had more street children than rural residence did. In addition, there was a meaningful difference between the number of street children in low-income families and high-income families. Finally, the survey results indicate that big size families more likely suffered from street children than low size families did.
