“…Although other studies contemplate the relationship of vocal symptoms with the emotional scope of teachers 30 , with the capacity to perform activities at work 11,12 , and with psychosocial and work organizational characteristics 31 , the present study is a pioneer in the field by presenting the association between vocal behavior profile and well-being in teachers. A higher proportion of well-being perception was observed among teachers who reported good vocal behaviors or presented lower risk of vocal problems.…”

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.

“…No primeiro deles, um estudo envolvendo mulheres, além da aplicação de questionários foram realizados ensaios clínicos aleatórios 32 . Já no estudo que envolveu distúrbios de voz com professores, a coleta de dados incluiu avaliações vocais e laringoscopias 44 . Isto demonstra que, dependendo do problema de pesquisa, faz-se necessário realizar um diagnóstico mais aprofundado, com a utilização de ferramentas específicas ou complementares.…”

Resumo Dados do IBGE apontam que a população idosa do Brasil que era de 11%, em 2013, passará a ser de 33,7%, em 2060. Este processo de envelhecimento pode ser diagnosticado a partir da capacidade que o trabalhador dispõe para suas atividades laborais. Para realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema, utilizou-se o PROK-NOW-C, realizando a análise bibliométrica e sistêmica da literatura. Os resultados levaram a constituição de um portfólio com 29 artigos, destacando-se os periódicos de maior relevância, autores e palavras-chaves. A análise sistêmica proporcionou importantes resultados: a metodologia survey foi aplicada em 26 artigos; 21 estudos são cortes transversais; constatou-se que em 10 estudos a capacidade para o trabalho diminui com o avanço da idade e a prática de exercícios físicos foi associada positivamente com o ICT em 11 estudos. Os resultados confirmam que o ICT é um instrumento que permite diagnosticar a situação da vida laboral dos trabalhadores, e, em caso de baixos índices, a presença de um envelhecimento funcional precoce. O estudo possibilitou ressaltar a importância de avaliar aspectos da vida social do trabalhador, uma vez que estes fatores influenciam positiva ou negativamente na capacidade para o trabalho. Palavras-chave Índice de capacidade para o trabalho, Saúde do trabalhador, Abstract Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) data indicate that the elderly population of Brazil numbering 11% in 2003, will attain 33.7% by 2060. This aging process can be diagnosed from the capability workers possess for their labor activities. ProKnow-C was used to conduct the review, carrying out bibliometric and systemic analysis of the literature on the subject.The results led to the compilation of a portfolio with 29 papers, highlighting the most relevant journals, authors and keywords. Systemic analysis provided important results: survey methodology was applied on 26 papers, 21 of which were cross-sectional studies; in all the papers the WAI was associated with sociodemographic data; in 10 studies it was found that the work ability decreased while age increased and the practice of physical exercises was positively associated with the WAI in 11 studies. The results led to the perception that the WAI is an instrument that makes it possible to diagnose the situation of the working life of employees, and, in the case of low rates, the presence of early functional aging is detected. The study highlighted the importance of assessing aspects of the worker's social life, since these factors influence the work ability positively or negatively.

Objective: to assess the effects of surface hydration on vocal quality according to teachers’ self-perception. Methods: an examiner-blinded pre-test and post-test intervention study carried out with a single group of 27 teachers. Sociodemographic characteristics and work questionnaire, Screening Index for Voice Disorder, Vocal Severity Rating Scale, Expected Effects Pre-intervention, Perceived Effects Post-intervention and Post-intervention Perception instruments, were applied. The intervention lasted 4 weeks and consisted of 5 minutes of nebulization with saline solution (sodium chloride 0.9%), after 10 minutes of mouth dehydration, prior to teaching. Results: screening Index for Voice Disorder scores demonstrated a statistically significant reduction (p=0.001). Frequency of voice disorders in the Vocal Severity Rating Scale was reduced without a statistical significance (p= 0.172). Expected Effects, Pre-intervention, and Perceived Effects, Post-intervention, showed improvement in vocal quality (40.7%), vocal comfort (40.7%) and vocal folds hydration (37%). Post-intervention perception form showed moderate improvement of the symptoms (59.3%), cleared voice (55.6%) and ease speaking (48.1%) as well as intense belief in the intervention (74.1%) and intense compliance to the intervention (74.1%). Conclusion: surface hydration with saline solution promoted self-perceived improvement in vocal quality.
