“…Os artigos que constituíram esta revisão foram predominantemente realizados na América Latina, especificamente no Brasil, com maior publicação entre os anos de 2014 e 2022. Acredita-se que o interesse no estudo por essa população de profissionais da voz pela comunidade científica no Brasil deve-se ao movimento histórico-político, debates entre profissionais da saúde do trabalhador, Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (CERESTs), universidades, associações, meio jurídico, fonoaudiólogos, dentre outros, para o reconhecimento do DVRT em meio às condições do ambiente e da organização do processo laboral (8,22) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar evidências científicas sobre o distúrbio de voz relacionado ao trabalho e fatores de risco, além de apontar os sintomas vocais, instrumentos e métodos de avaliação em profissionais da voz falada. Estratégia de pesquisa Revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE/PubMed e Scopus. Critérios de seleção Artigos com profissionais da voz falada, que abordassem os fatores de riscos individuais, organizacionais e/ou ambientais vinculados aos sintomas e/ou distúrbios de voz, estudos observacionais, disponíveis na íntegra, sem restrição ao idioma e ano de publicação. Resultados Foram incluídos 58 estudos, maior publicação entre os anos de 2014 e 2022, predominantemente no Brasil, em destaque, o professor. O método de avaliação mais utilizado foi autoavaliação com o uso dos protocolos, seguido da avaliação perceptivo-auditiva e do exame laringológico. Os fatores de risco mais identificados foram os individuais, seguidos dos organizacionais e ambientais, além de terem sido relatados os sintomas vocais sensoriais e auditivos. Conclusão Os fatores mais autorreferidos são ruído, uso intenso da voz, alterações respiratórias, ser do gênero feminino e práticas vocais inadequadas. Quanto aos sintomas vocais sensoriais, destacam-se garganta seca, pigarro e fadiga vocal, e quanto aos auditivos, rouquidão.

“…The articles included in this review were predominantly carried out in Latin America, specifically in Brazil, with the highest number of publications between 2014 and 2022. It is believed that the interest in the study of this population of voice professionals by the scientific community in Brazil is due to the historical-political movement, debates among occupational health professionals, Reference Centers for Workers' Health (Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador -CERESTs), universities, associations, legal professions, speech therapists, and others, for the recognition of WRVD amid environmental conditions and the organization of the work process (8,22) .…”

Purpose To identify scientific evidence about (Work-Related Voice Disorder) and risk factors, as well as to point out vocal symptoms, instruments and evaluation methods in spoken voice professionals. Research strategy Integrative literature review carried out in LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus databases. Selection criteria Articles with spoken voice professionals, which addressed individual, organizational and/or environmental risk factors linked to symptoms and/or voice disorders, observational studies, fully available, without restriction to language and year of publication. Results 58 papers were included, the largest publication between the years 2014 and 2022, predominantly in Brazil, with emphasis on the teacher. The most used evaluation method was vocal assessment using self-assessment protocols, followed by auditory-perceptual assessment and laryngological examination. The mostly identified risk factors were individual ones, followed by organizational and environmental ones, in addition to sensory and auditory vocal symptoms having been reported. Conclusion The most often self-reported factors were noise, intense voice use, respiratory changes, being female and inappropriate vocal practices. For sensory vocal symptoms, dry throat, throat clearing and vocal fatigue stand out, and for auditory symptoms, hoarseness.

“…Voice disorders resulting from loud noise in the work environment have been investigated in various occupational groups, particularly in voice professionals like singers and presenters. [6][7][8][9] A meta-analysis found that the prevalence of dysphonia was 44% among voice professionals. [7] Preliminary studies on non-audio professionals have shown that many non-professional voice users suffer from voice problems, significantly affecting their job performance.…”

Objective: The suitability of spirometric studies depends on the patient-technicianequipment relationship. The technician uses visual and verbal stimuli during the pulmonary function test (PFT). It is common for technicians to coach patients firmly and loudly during the test and to demonstrate breathing maneuvers close to the patient. This practice, amounting to voice abuse, can lead to voice quality impairments in PFT lab (PFTL) technicians. Our study aimed to examine voice disorders among PFTL technicians in our country.Material and Methods: Demographic data, the number of patients tested weekly, weekly working hours, and medical diagnoses related to voice were collected through a questionnaire created using the online survey software program SurveyMonkey © . The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) were administered to technicians.Results: Forty-five PFTL technicians participated. The mean VHI-10 score was 17.1 (SD 9.385), and the mean V-RQOL score was 17.2 (SD 8.794). There was no statistically significant difference between the number of patients tested, the number of hours spent shouting/loud talking per week, the presence of known hoarseness, and the VHI-10 and V-RQOL total scores (p>0.05). Conclusion:Although loud voice use to the point of shouting test instructions is required to obtain quality data in PFT results, this practice lacks scientific basis. It is essential to recognize the negative impact on voice quality in PFTL technicians, similar to professional groups like teachers and clergy. According to our results, it is difficult to assert that the voice quality of PFT technicians is unaffected. To our knowledge, no previous study has examined the voice quality of PFTL technicians. Visual and verbal substitutes for "voice misuse" can be employed to protect workers' vocal health.
