Abstract

Purpose: To assess teachers' voice self-perception before and after participating in a voice awareness program.

Material and methods: This interventional, descriptive, quantitative study, approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee under CAAE: 10719513.5.0000.5188, included 33 elementary and middle school teachers of both sexes from municipal schools in northeastern Brazil. The intervention had three stages, applying the Vocal Health and Hygiene Questionnaire (VHHQ) and the Voice-Related Quality-of-Life (V-RQOL) in the first one; conducting four vocal health workshops with theoretical and practical content in the second; and reapplying the VHHQ and V-RQOL in the third stage to compare results before and after the intervention.

Results: Most participants were females, whose mean age neared the end of the vocal efficiency period. The protocols indicated that the voice awareness program positively impacted the study participants, with better voice perception and greater knowledge about factors harmful to vocal health.

Conclusions: The research demonstrated the importance of informative programs on vocal health by exchanging knowledge, improving voice-related quality of life, and preventing vocal disorders.

教师在声音意识训练前后对声音的自我知觉。

目的：评估教师参与语音意识项目前后的语音自我知觉。材料与方法：本研究经CAAE: 10719513.5.0000.5188人类研究伦理委员会批准，采用干涉性、描述性、定量研究，研究对象为巴西东北部市立学校的33名男女中小学教师。干预分为三个阶段，第一阶段采用嗓音健康卫生问卷（VHHQ）和嗓音相关生活质量问卷（V-RQOL）；第二期举办了四次具有理论和实践内容的声乐健康讲习班；第三阶段再次应用VHHQ和V-RQOL比较干预前后的结果。结果：大多数参与者是女性，她们的平均年龄接近发声效率期的结束。协议表明，声音意识计划对研究参与者产生了积极的影响，他们有更好的声音感知能力，对有害声音健康的因素有了更多的了解。结论：研究表明，通过交流知识、改善与声音相关的生活质量和预防声音疾病，信息节目对声音健康的重要性。
