“…Several self-assessment tools have been used in vocal screening; however, none of them should be used in isolation, considering that they are not perfect classifiers (28) . The two protocols used in this survey are complementary because they contemplate different dimensions of voice use, namely, vocal knowledge and behavior, in an attempt to involve the individual in its integrality.…”

Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge of preachers about aspects of vocal health and hygiene and evaluate talkativeness and vocal loudness self-perceived during labor and extra-labor situations aiming to understand the possibility of vocal risk in these professionals. Methods Fifty male preachers aged 22 to 73 years were evaluated. They responded to two self-assessment questionnaires on vocal health and hygiene and talkativeness and vocal loudness. The results were submitted to statistical analysis. Results The preachers presented satisfactory scores in the Vocal Health and Hygiene Questionnaire; however, their scores in the Scale of Vocal Loudness and Talkativeness were lower in the labor situation compared with the extra-labor situations. The variables length of professional experience as a preacher and extra-labor talkativeness and vocal loudness were also associated with knowledge about vocal health and hygiene. Conclusion Preachers show good knowledge about vocal health and hygiene but are at high risk of vocal disorders due to excessive use of talkativeness and vocal loudness in the work environment.

“…In order to achieve the study objective, in addition to developing the VoxPedia game, it was necessary to apply it and collect other information not included in the quiz. To this end, a research protocol including the following forms and instruments was developed: 1) Informed Consent Form (ICF); 2) Identification Data form; 3) Voice Handicap Index: 10 (VHI-10) protocol (25) ; 4) Vocal Health and Hygiene Questionnaire (VHHQ) (26) ; 5) VoxPedia quiz.…”

“…The total score is calculated by the sum of the question scores and may range from 0 to 40 points, with a score of 0 indicating no disadvantage and a score of 40 indicating maximum disadvantage (25) . The cut-off value that differentiates people with and without vocal disadvantage is 7.5 points (26) . Thus, all individuals with a score >7.5 present some vocal impairment.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Desenvolver um game sobre saúde e higiene vocal (VoxPedia) e aplicá-lo em adultos, para investigar o conhecimento em cuidados vocais e compreender a autoavaliação vocal dos respondentes. Método Participaram 293 adultos, 204 mulheres e 129 profissionais da voz, convidados através de mídias digitais. Os participantes responderam: 1) Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE); 2) Dados de Identificação; 3) Protocolo do Índice de Desvantagem Vocal (IDV-10); 4) Questionário de Saúde e Higiene Vocal (QSHV); 5) Aplicação do quiz VoxPedia. Resultados O VoxPedia foi desenvolvido com questões simples e com dinâmica que permitiu aos participantes conhecerem seu desempenho em tempo real. Os dados adquiridos através do quiz mostram que os profissionais da voz relataram menos desvantagem vocal e acertaram mais itens no QSHV e questões do VoxPedia. Profissionais da voz ou não, os participantes que erraram a natureza do impacto dos aspectos de saúde no QSHV referiram maior desvantagem vocal no IDV-10. Contudo, apesar da desvantagem autorreferida, a maioria não relata problemas de voz. Em contrapartida, quando o respondente relatou problemas de voz, nem sempre houve desvantagem percebida ou busca por terapia vocal. Conclusão O VoxPedia apresentou alguns conceitos de saúde e higiene vocal aos participantes. Além disso, possibilitou o estudo das relações entre conhecimento em cuidados vocais e autoavaliação vocal. Os dados sugerem que os indivíduos com mais conhecimento em cuidados vocais têm melhor autoavaliação de voz; participantes com pior autoavaliação vocal não percebem problemas de voz; e aqueles que percebem problemas vocais não necessariamente procuram cuidados profissionais.

“…However, vocal habits should also be taken into account to prevent relapse into pathology due to improper use of the voice [7]. This relation is particularly important in behavioral dysphonia, where the disorder depends on the vocal behavior of the patient [8-10].…”

Objective: To analyze the applicability of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA)-VOICE scale before and after a therapeutic program for functional balance in voice production. Patients and Methods: The sample comprised 26 adult participants (18 female) from the Brazilian Public Healthcare System. The URICA-VOICE scale was applied prior to the intervention and after 10 sessions of a therapeutic program. Results: The motivational stage values were significantly increased after the intervention compared with the first application of the scale. Precontemplation and action were the stages most commonly reported by the participants. Significant differences were found in 6 statements of the URICA-VOICE scale after voice therapy. Conclusions: The motivational stage of the participants improved after voice therapy. Being motivated is important for adherence to behavioral changes regarding the voice, and this study shows that using the URICA-VOICE scale in clinical practice is essential to measure patient performance in the voice therapy process, as well as to determine the ideal moment of discharge.
