Salud [online]. 2021, vol.3, n.1, pp.22-32. Epub 10-Ago-2021. ISSN 2665-2056. https://doi.org/10.46634/riics.59.
Introduction:
There are different risk factors that can generate vocal alterations in teachers in the exercise of their work. This research seeks to establish the relationship between knowledge of vocal risk factors and the presence of symptoms associated with vocal disease in college teachers.
Method:
A descriptive observational study was carried out with a cross-sectional design with 200 teachers selected under exclusion and exclusion criteria. An online survey of knowledge of vocal risk factors and the physical subscale of the Vocal Disability Index (VHI) were applied. Stata 14 was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
It was found that teachers present knowledge of vocal risk factors and the presence of symptoms is mild. The relationship between these two variables was negative, that is, the higher the vocal knowledge, the lower the presence of symptoms.
Conclusions:
Despite finding a relationship between the study variables, the level of significance is low. The investigations that research the knowledge of the vocal risk factors are limited. Therefore, it is recommended to continue investigating this topic
