Teachers are vulnerable to developing voice problems due to their specific occupational demands during teaching. Information on how the teaching profession is impacted by voice problems and what the profession perceives to be useful information for preventing voice problems is important for health care service providers. A total of 122 subjects from the teaching profession (55 practicing teachers and 67 prospective teachers) were therefore surveyed to ascertain their perception of their voice condition and the impact of voice problems on their communication, social life, personal emotions, and occupation. The results showed that the practicing teachers perceived their voice to be significantly worse than the prospective teachers. In addition, the teachers also faced significantly more difficulties in their daily communication than the prospective teachers. These two groups of subjects believed that information on breathing exercises and specific vocal hygiene strategies would help them prevent voice problems.
由于教学过程中的特定职业需求，教师容易出现嗓音问题。了解嗓音问题如何影响教师职业以及该职业认为哪些信息对预防嗓音问题有用，对医疗服务提供者而言至关重要。因此，对122名来自教师职业的受试者（55名在职教师和67名未来教师）进行了调查，以确定他们对自身嗓音状况的看法以及嗓音问题对其沟通、社交生活、个人情绪和职业的影响。结果显示，在职教师认为自己的嗓音明显比未来教师差。此外，在职教师在日常沟通中面临的困难也明显多于未来教师。这两组受试者都认为，呼吸练习和特定的嗓音卫生策略方面的信息将有助于他们预防嗓音问题。
