“…In a study, using VAPP, Faham et al reported significantly different results in dysphonia cases compared to healthy individuals; the group with dysphonia reported highest score for daily communication section, followed by emotion section, effect on social interaction and lowest for influence on job. 16 As VAPP measures the parameters pertaining to quality of life (Qol) and, to be precise, an individual with increased dysphonia might face limitations in daily activities related to voice use as reflected in the current study. Stephanie C et al reported both negative and positive effects of professional voice usage, despite being insignificant, more negative clinical signs were observed in the study.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ripah International University, Lahore, Pakistan from January to April, 2022 to evaluate and compare the Self-Reported Vocal symptoms among Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) practicing with children having Hearing Impairment (HI) and Cerebral Palsy (CP). The sample included 141 participants of both genders, aged 25 to 60 years, practicing with children with hearing impairment and cerebral palsy for at least one year. Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTDS) and Voice Activity Participation Profile (VAPP) were utilised for data collection which was analysed using SPSS Ver-23. The study revealed no significant association of self-perceived vocal symptoms for SLPs catering to CP and HI children with p=0.303 and p=0.412 for VTDS and VAPP scores respectively and with higher mean scores for SLPs catering to CP children. Results revealed a total VTDS score of 40.26±13.10 with highest score for dryness, while highest VAPP mean score was noted for daily communication (53.82±23.20). Hence, there is no significant association of the speciality being catered to, while dryness is the commonest self-perceived symptom. Keywords: Cerebral Palsy, Hearing Impairment, Self-concept, Speech-Language Pathologist.

“…The VAPP, proposed by Ma and Yiu, [9] has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure the voice-related quality of life in patients, and has been translated into multiple languages, such as versions of Spanish, [10] Persian, [11] Italian, [12] and Finnish. [13] The Mandarin (Simplified) Chinese version of the VAPP, we used in our study, was translated recently and was determined to have with high internal consistency, high Cronbach alpha coefficiency, and high test–retest reliability.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the difference and correlation between the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) and the Voice Activity and Participation Profile (VAPP) among teachers.The participants were 672 teachers (218 males and 454 females, male-to-female ratio = 0.48:1) whose vocal cords were examined using a Strobolaryngoscope. Questionnaire results were obtained for both the V-RQOL and the VAPP.Of the 672 participants, 322 teachers had voice disorders while 350 teachers did not. The most common voice complaint was hoarseness (n = 250), and the most common throat complaint was foreign body sensation (n = 129) in teachers with voice disorders. Chronic laryngitis (n = 162, 50.3%), vocal cord polyps (n = 92, 28.6%), and vocal cord nodules (n = 43.13.4%) were the most frequent diagnoses in teachers with voice disorders. Significant differences were seen on the V-RQOL and the VAPP scores between teachers with and without voice disorders, and between female and male teachers. Differences were also observed among teachers from different grades, and among different types of voice-related diseases. Moderate-to-strong correlations were observed between the VAPP total score and those for all the subscales of the VAPP and between the VAPP total score and the V-RQOL score (P < .001).Teachers with voice disorders have a significantly poorer voice-related quality of life than those without voice disorders, as do female teachers compared with male teachers. Different groups of voice disorders have different effects on teachers’ voice-related quality of life, and primary school teachers suffer from a poorer voice-related quality of life than do high school teachers. A moderate-to-strong correlation was found between the results of the V-RQOL and the VAPP scores.

“…Test-retest reliability was determined by re-administration following a 2-week interval. This interval time was sufficiently long for patients not to remember their previous responses to the items and also short enough to remove the subjective voice factors [23, 27]. The computed values for test-retest reliability imply that it can be expected that this scale measures catastrophization in a stable fashion.…”

Catastrophization refers to the cognitive distortion that is experienced by patients with several diseases who suffer from pain. There is some evidence that catastrophization may be found in patients with voice disorders. The Voice Catastrophization Index (VCI) was developed in English to measure catastrophization in patients with dysphonia. The goal of this research was to translate and validate the Persian version of the VCI (P-VCI) for use with Persian-speaking people in Iran and elsewhere. Methods: This was a prospective
