“…A higher proportion of well-being perception was observed among teachers who reported good vocal behaviors or presented lower risk of vocal problems. Usually, literature presents an association between emotional and vocal problems 32,33 , however, this new finding suggests that well-being may contribute to the use of more assertive coping strategies focused on occupational problems, such as better use of voice in the classroom 34 .…”

“…However, in a longitudinal study, it was observed that the presence of mental disorders is a risk factor for incidence of vocal problems 35 . The presence of mental disorders is commonly associated with a lower proportion of wellbeing 36 and dysfunctional coping strategies 37 , and may contribute to poor voice use 34 . Emphasis is placed on the need to understand the factors that protect workers' health, so that preventive and protective strategies can be considered based on the individual abilities.…”

Purpose: to verify the prevalence of well-being and its association with sociodemographic features, health and work-related conditions, and vocal behavior in elementary school teachers in the city of Pelotas, RS. Methods: a cross-sectional observational study with 575 teachers from urban and rural areas. The participants answered a structured questionnaire that included items on sociodemographic, health and work-related conditions. The Faces Scale (Andrews) was used to evaluate their psychological well-being. The Vocal Behavior Profile verified occurrences of abuse and vocal misuse. Poisson regression was used for the multivariate analysis. Results: of the total sample, 79.5% of teachers experienced well-being. It was observed that vocal behavior profile was significantly associated with well-being, and the number of students in the classroom showed a trend towards significance. Conclusion: most teachers had a satisfactory well-being perception. Moreover, a lower well-being perception in the teaching population was mainly related to abusive vocal behavior and, less clearly, to the high number of students per classroom.

“…PEED-BR (12) was applied to check the coping strategies used by each group, which is a version translated and adapted from the VDCQ protocol (13) . The protocol consists of 10 questions that assess how the subjects react when the condition of their voice is not normal or when they present a voice disorder.…”

“…Thus, we selected three protocols for this population: the Protocolo de Estratégias de Enfrentamento das Disfonias (PEED-BR) (12) , a version translated and adapted from Voice Disability Coping Questionnaire (VDCQ) (13) ; the Escala de Sintomas Vocais (ESV) (11) , validated for Brazilian Portuguese (BP) from Voice Symptom Scale (VoiSS) (14) ; and the Questionário Vivendo com Disartria (VcD) (15) , translated and adapted from the original Living with dysarthria (LwD) (16) . The use of these three instruments allow us to check how individuals face a vocal problem, what the main vocal symptoms are, and how they live with the problems affecting their communication skills, giving them more information on their quality of life and helping in their vocal treatment by implementing strategies focused on limitations and coping.…”

Purpose: To investigate, in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the coping strategies; the most reported vocal symptoms; and the relation between coping, voice symptoms, and communicative aspects. Methods: Seventythree subjects were included in the sample, 33 of which were participants in the experimental group (EG) with diagnosis of PD and 40 were control subjects, that is, healthy and without vocal complaints. They underwent the following procedures: application of Voice Symptoms Scale (VoiSS), Brazilian Version; Voice DisabilityCoping Questionnaire (VDCQ), Brazilian Version; and the questionnaire Living with Dysarthria (LwD). Results:The EG presented deviations in all protocols: VDCQ, with the most frequently coping strategy being "selfcontrol," VoiSS, with "Impairment" as the most prevalent domain, and LwD, presenting changes in all sections.Vocal signs and symptoms and communicative aspects were shown to have a regular correlation with coping.The correlation between vocal symptoms and communicative aspects was as follows: the greater the impairment in communication, the greater the VoiSS emotional scores and the more they complaint of voice-related signs and symptoms. Conclusion: Patients with PD use all kinds of coping strategies, but prefer using self-control.They present several vocal signs and symptoms, and "Impairment" was the most prevalent domain. There are difficulties in all aspects of communication. The higher the occurrence of vocal signs and symptoms, the more the patient reports the difficulties of living with dysarthria, particularly when deviations affect the emotional domain.
