摘要

本研究调查了中国和印度尼西亚医护人员的嗓音疾病患病率。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，研究人员对 721 名医护人员进行了问卷调查，其中 411 人来自中国，310 人来自印度尼西亚。问卷评估了与嗓音相关的症状、嗓音障碍感知、常听到的噪音源以及沟通质量。结果显示，最常报告的症状是 "嗓子累"（20.5%）和 "清嗓子"（18.3%）。具体而言，19.4% 的中国医护人员出现过与嗓音相关的症状，而只有 6.3% 的印尼医护人员出现过此类症状。较长的工作时间和工作年限与嗓音相关症状明显相关。此外，根据嗓音障碍指数（VHI-30），中国和印尼的医护人员都有轻微（30）的嗓音障碍。中国约有四分之一（23.8%）的医护人员的嗓音障碍指数（VHI-30）超过 30 分，而印尼只有 7%。两国在嗓音相关症状和嗓音障碍方面存在显著差异。在两国，每周工作 50-60 小时的医护人员比每周工作 40-50 小时的医护人员得分更高。此外，在大流行期间，中国医护人员的沟通质量和嗓音问题的严重程度都比印尼差。

Voice handicap prevalence among healthcare workers in China and Indonesia

This study investigated the prevalence of voice disorders among healthcare workers in China and Indonesia. A questionnaire was administered to 721 healthcare workers, with 411 from China and 310 from Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The questionnaire assessed vocal-related symptoms, perceived voice handicap, frequently heard noise sources, and the quality of communications. The results revealed that the most frequently reported symptoms were ‘voice tiredness’ (20.5 %) and ‘clearing the throat’ (18.3 %). Specifically, 19.4 % of Chinese healthcare workers experienced voice-related symptoms, whereas only 6.3 % of Indonesians reported such symptoms. Longer working hours and working years were significantly associated with voice-related symptoms. Furthermore, the healthcare workers in China and Indonesia both reported mild (<30) voice disorders based on the Voice Handicap Index (VHI-30). Approximately one-fourth (23.8 %) of healthcare workers in China had VHI-30 scores exceeding 30, compared to only 7 % in Indonesia. The differences in vocal-related symptoms and voice handicap between the two countries were significant. Healthcare workers with 50–60 working hours per week exhibited higher scores than those working 40–50 h per week in both countries. Additionally, communication quality and the severity of voice problems for healthcare workers in China were worse than in Indonesia during the pandemic.

期刊介绍： Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense. Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems. Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
