“…This result shows the number of proprioceptive vocal symptoms reported as an indicator of the negative impact on the quality of life of teachers, reinforcing findings of other studies (22,29) . The inserted speech therapy practice in schools with health promotion activities would be possibly a strategy to numerically reduce cases of dysphonia in the studied group.…”

Purpose: Check the number of vocal symptoms reported by teachers and the relationship with the self-perception of the limitations of daily activities associated to the voice, personal, occupational and clinical aspects. Methods: Refers to a study performed by the analysis of secondary data from medical records of teachers attended at the voice ambulatory of a teaching hospital. The informations of interest were: age, number of taught shifts, parallel activities to teaching, fan use, conversational noise, dust, construction noise, external noise, screaming, smoking habit, hydration, pellet use, physical activity associated with speech, type and degree of dysphonia, proprioceptive vocal symptoms and responses to the Protocol of the Profile of Participation and Vocal Activities (PPVA). It was realized a descriptive and inferential analysis. Results: Were collected informations of 103 medical records, where it was found high prevalence of vocal symptoms, with the most frequent: fatigue after prolonged use of the voice, dry throat, throat clearing and burning. It was observed an association between the number of vocal symptoms and the scream habit, conversational noise and perception of the impact of dysphonia by teachers. The number of self-reported vocal symptoms was positively correlated with all parameters evaluated by PPVA. Conclusion: There is high frequency of proprioceptive vocal symptoms among the teachers. The noise of conversation and scream habit are associated with the number of vocal symptoms, as well as the parameters of self-perception of the impact of dysphonia contained in the PPVA.

“…The differences were found in the time needed to recover from voice problems, in the occurrence of voice problems without a concurrent upper air-way infection, and in the subjective assessment of voice symptoms 2 . This leads us to hypothesize that the differences between teachers with and without voice problems might be found in their daily voice use, possibly related to the teaching environment.…”

“…In Lyberg Åhlander et al, 2 31 individuals among the teachers with self-assessed voice problems were matched to 31 voice healthy colleagues, for gender, school and as close as possible for age. For the present study, among the 31 pairs, 14 pairs from the schools with the highest frequency of matched pairs were asked to participate.…”

“…Two schools taught all levels from primary to junior high, and one junior high level. All participants had recently undergone examinations of the larynx, voice recordings and Voice Range Profiling, hearing, and had rated psychosocial aspects as described in Lyberg Åhlander et al, 2 . There were some minor remarks on laryngeal status in both groups but without statistical differences between the groups for any of the above mentioned aspects (for further details, see 2 2 .…”

Objectives. This case-control designed field-study examines the vocal behavior in teachers with self-estimated voice problems and their age-, and school-matched voice-healthy colleagues. It was hypothesized that teachers with and teachers without voice problems use their voices differently regarding fundamental frequency, sound pressure level and in relation to the background noise. Methods.Teachers with self-estimated voice-problems (n=14, 2M/12F) were age and gender matched to voice-healthy school-colleagues (n=14, 2M/12F). The subjects, recruited from an earlier study, had been examined in laryngeal, vocal, hearing and psychosocial aspects. The Conclusion.The results suggest a different vocal behavior in subjects with subjective voice problems and a higher vocal load with fewer possibilities for vocal recovery.

The study aims to evaluate the awareness level regarding the importance of medical survey among a sample of school teachers in public and the private sectors. The study has investigated the presence of Otolaryngologic diseases including Dysphonia among teachers. A cross-sectional sample was selected from different parts of Jeddah city to enroll the elementary, intermediate, and the high school teachers. There were more than 800 schools; however, the study has selected 26 schools only. The study was conducted during the academic year of 2014. The awareness about medical survey among public awareness is of paramount importance in the detection, management, and planning of health related problems. The study has depicted less than acceptable participation from the school teachers regarding the awareness and management of health problems, and more efforts have to be made to educate the public sectors about the importance of the medical survey.
