Abstract

Introduction

Many teachers report discomfort and a decrease in the quality of aerodynamic, respiratory, and cervical vocal aspects as well as of vocal self-assessment.

Objective

Characterize and correlate measurements of Sound Pressure Levels, Maximum Phonation Time of /a/, Maximum Respiratory Pressures, Voice-Related Quality of Life and cervical pain in teachers with vocal and musculoskeletal complaints and no organic vocal fold lesions, and compare with normative values.

Methods

Retrospective study with 56 teachers. Anamnesis, video laryngoscopy, hearing screening, measurements of sound pressure and maximum phonation time, and manovacuometry were performed. Self-assessment protocols for Voice-Related Quality of Life and Neck Disability Index were completed.

Results

there was significant higher Sound Pressure Levels; significant lower Maximum Phonation Time of /a/, Maximum Expiratory Pressure, and total and physical scores of Voice-Related Quality of Life; most participants had mild cervical disability; there was a negative correlation between Maximum Expiratory Pressure and Neck Disability Index, between Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and Maximum Sound Pressure Level, and between Neck Disability Index and Voice-Related Quality of Life.

Conclusion

The results showed that there are damages and inadequacies in teachers’ vocal production which affect their quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the conditions of use of the voice by professionals, and to their health education.

教师的呼吸压力和声压、最长发音时间、颈椎残疾以及与嗓音有关的生活质量。

导言：许多教师都表示，在声乐教学过程中会感到不适，气动、呼吸、颈椎以及声乐自我评估的质量也会下降：许多教师报告说，他们在空气动力、呼吸和颈椎发声方面以及发声自我评估方面感到不适和质量下降：目的：对有发声和肌肉骨骼不适且声带无器质性病变的教师的声压级、/a/的最大发音时间、最大呼吸压力、与嗓音相关的生活质量和颈椎疼痛的测量结果进行描述和相关分析，并与标准值进行比较：方法：对 56 名教师进行回顾性研究。方法：对 56 名教师进行回顾性研究，包括询问病史、进行视频喉镜检查、听力筛查、测量声压和最大发音时间以及人声测压。结果显示：声压级显著升高；/a/的最大发音时间、最大呼气压力、与嗓音有关的生活质量的总分和物理分显著降低；大多数参与者有轻度颈椎残疾；最大呼气压力与颈椎残疾指数之间、最大吸气压力与最大声压级之间、颈椎残疾指数与与嗓音有关的生活质量之间呈负相关：结果表明，教师的发声存在损伤和不足，影响了他们的生活质量。因此，有必要关注专业人员的用嗓条件和健康教育。
