Teachers belong to the vulnerable category of vocal professionals with a high risk of developing dysphonia, presenting multiple vocal symptoms ranging from fatigue, hoarseness, change in voice quality in the context of vocal wear and discomfort, symptoms that generally are associated with physical discomfort and professional absenteeism.
This research aims to investigate teachers level of knowledge regarding the elements related to voice dysfunction and voice prevention and the manner in which this knowledge applied in daily practice is influencing voice behavior. Teachers’ knowledge regarding the association of risk factors and voice dysfunction with direct impact on teaching performance and the presence of limitation or reduction of professional activity was under examination. It was pursued whether there is a level of awareness, based on the level of knowledge held about the use of voice and regarding the need to adopt in the daily professional routine practices of preventing voice dysfunction.
The research targets 45 teachers professionally active in state and private schools that are teaching from early education to high school level. Participants filled in a questionnaire, distributed online on professional teachers networks for six weeks, a questionnaire that included various items that captured targeted elements.
