“…Teachers have an increased vocal demand, as they need to speak using a high sound pressure level (SPL), over background noises, and for long work periods [3]. It is clear that the teaching strategy in which the teacher positions himself or herself in an orthostatic position in front of the students in the classroom, even though consolidated by effectiveness, requires the use of a loud voice, according to the number of students and the background noise [4][5][6]. Vocal performance can be altered due to noise inside or outside the classroom, as many teachers use higher than usual SPL and report discomfort due to sound competition.…”

Introduction: Teachers stand out among occupational groups due to their contribution to modern societies, and their voice is the main form of interaction. Objective: To verify the changes in vocal and respiratory measurements from teachers with vocal and musculoskeletal complaints and with normal larynx, after applying a musculoskeletal manipulation protocol of myofascial release using pompage. Methods: Controlled and randomized clinical trial with 56 participants, 28 teachers in the study group and 28 teachers in the control group. Anamnesis; videolaryngoscopy; hearing screening; sound pressure and maximum phonation time measurements; and manovacuometry were performed. The musculoskeletal manipulation protocol of myofascial release using pompage consisted of a total of 24 sessions, 40 min each session, three times a week, for eight weeks. Results: There was a significant improvement in the maximum respiratory pressure in the study group after the intervention. The sound pressure level and the maximum phonation time did not change significantly. Discussion and Conclusion: Musculoskeletal manipulation protocol of myofascial release using pompage had a direct effect on the respiratory measurements from female teachers, significantly increasing the maximum respiratory pressure, but without affecting sound pressure level and the /a/ maximum phonation time.

“…Weak air support promotes increased muscle tension in the vocal tract and induces hyperfunctional dysphonia. Decreased respiratory function may be associated with reduced MPT and reduced phonatory efficiency [6, 23, 26, 38].…”

Introducción: La seguridad laboral de los docentes es crucial, ya que su voz es una herramienta fundamental. El ausentismo laboral en docentes está relacionado con patologías vocales causadas por sobrecarga vocal, estrés y entornos acústicos. Este estudio buscó determinar la sintomatología vocal de los docentes de básica primaria y secundaria y su relación con la calidad de vida para proponer medidas de promoción y prevención. Metodología: Se aplicó el cuestionario Voice Handicap Index (VHI-30) y el Índice de Calidad de Vida (QLI) a una muestra de 103 docentes en Soacha y Madrid, Colombia. Los datos fueron analizados con SPSS versión 29. Resultados: Los hallazgos revelan que la mayoría de los docentes presentan una sintomatología vocal leve que no afecta significativamente su desempeño. Existe una correlación significativa entre el VHI y el QLI, mostrando una estrecha interacción entre la salud vocal y el bienestar general de los docentes. Conclusiones: Es necesario que las instituciones implementen estrategias de promoción y prevención de la sintomatología vocal para mejorar la salud y bienestar de los docentes.
