Previous studies of students studying to be teachers have indicated that these students commonly have voice disorders. Ideally, voice disorders should be treated before students start their work as teachers, but the resources for this treatment are often limited. This study examines whether group voice therapy is effective for teacher students. Accordingly, 20 teacher students with mild voice disorders received group voice therapy (in three small groups), whereas 20 students with similar voice disorders served as a control group and consequently did not receive voice therapy. Two out of three outcome measures (perceptual evaluation of voice quality and a questionnaire on the occurrence of vocal symptoms) indicated significant changes in the treatment group compared with the control group. No differences between groups were noted in the laryngeal status. The results suggest that group voice therapy seems to be an effective method to treat students with mild voice disorders.
以往针对未来教师的学生的研究表明,这些学生普遍存在嗓音障碍。理想情况下,嗓音障碍应在学生开始教师工作之前得到治疗,但这种治疗的资源往往有限。本研究考察了团体嗓音治疗对未来教师的学生是否有效。因此,20名患有轻度嗓音障碍的未来教师的学生接受了团体嗓音治疗(分为三个小组),而另外20名患有类似嗓音障碍的学生作为对照组,因此未接受嗓音治疗。与对照组相比,三项结果指标中的两项(嗓音质量的感知评估和一份关于嗓音症状发生情况的问卷)表明治疗组有显著变化。两组在喉部状况方面未发现差异。结果表明,团体嗓音治疗似乎是治疗患有轻度嗓音障碍的学生的一种有效方法。
