摘要

目的：专业嗓音使用者（PVUs）的嗓音是语言病理学家特别关注的问题。有关讲泰米尔语的伊玛目中嗓音障碍的发生率和相关风险因素的研究还很缺乏。我们利用非实验性调查研究填补了这一研究空白：方法：通过查阅早期文献，我们编制了一份调查问卷。我们对泰米尔纳德邦 100 名积极从事宗教服务的讲泰米尔语的阿訇进行了问卷调查。我们对获得的答复进行了定量和定性分析。我们还研究了年龄对嗓音障碍患病率的影响以及相关的风险因素：根据调查反馈，讲泰米尔语的阿訇中嗓音问题的职业流行率高达 89%，点流行率为 64%。阿訇们的总体健康状况良好。但是，嗓音健康状况并不令人满意。这项研究发现了导致嗓音问题的几个因素，如经常使用大嗓门、胃酸倒流、不健康的发声习惯和水分摄入不足。本研究中观察到的一个积极方面是阿訇们不吸烟、不喝酒。尽管阿訇们对发声机制有很好的认识，但他们表示在遇到嗓音问题时不会寻求医疗帮助。目前的研究结果表明，与年龄有关的差异对阿訇嗓音疾病相关风险因素的影响很小：结论：嗓音失调在讲泰米尔语的阿訇中很普遍。需要解决导致这些人嗓音失调的几个风险因素。

Prevalence of Voice Problems and Associated Risk Factors Among Tamil-Speaking Imams

Purpose

Voice of Professional Voice Users (PVUs) are of particular interest to practicing Speech-Language Pathologists. There is a dearth of studies concerning the prevalence of voice disorders and the associated risk factors among Tamil-speaking Imams. We address this research gap using non-experimental survey research.

Methods

A questionnaire was framed by reviewing earlier literature. The derived questionnaire was administered to one hundred Tamil-speaking Imams actively involved in religious service in Tamil Nadu. We analyzed the obtained responses quantitatively and qualitatively. We also examined the effect of age on the prevalence of voice disorders and associated risk factors.

Results

Based on survey responses, the career prevalence of voice problems among Tamil-speaking Imams was as high as 89%, and the point prevalence was 64%. The general health status of the Imams were good. However, vocal health was not satisfactory. This study identified several factors that contribute to voice problems, such as constant use of loud voice, acid reflux, unhealthy vocal habits, and insufficient hydration. A positive aspect observed during this study was the absence of smoking and consumption of alcohol among Imams. Even though the Imams presented good awareness of the voice production mechanism, they reported not seeking medical help when facing a voice problem. Current findings report a minimal impact of age-related differences on associated risk factors for voice disorders among the Imams.

Conclusions

Voice disorders are prevalent among Tamil-speaking Imams. Several risk factors leading to voice disorders among these individuals need to be addressed.
