To estimate the prevalence of self-reported voice problems and to identify associated factors.
A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 393 public elementary and middle school teachers in Florianópolis, Southern Brazil, in 2009. A self-administered questionnaire was used. A multivariable Poisson regression model was performed to estimate prevalence ratios and their related 95% confidence intervals.
The prevalence of voice problems was 47.6% (95%CI 42.6;52.5). In the final adjusted analysis the following variables remained associated with a higher prevalence of voice problems: being female and the presence of rhinitis/sinusitis and pharyngitis.
A high prevalence of self-reported voice problems was found among the teachers studied.
评估自我报告的声音问题的患病率,并确定相关因素。
2009 年,在巴西南部弗洛里亚诺波利斯的一个由 393 名公立小学和中学教师组成的样本中进行了一项横断面研究。使用了一份自我管理的问卷。采用多变量泊松回归模型来估计患病率比及其相关的 95%置信区间。
声音问题的患病率为 47.6%(95%CI 42.6;52.5)。在最终的调整分析中,以下变量与更高的声音问题患病率相关:女性,以及鼻炎/鼻窦炎和咽炎的存在。
在所研究的教师中,自我报告的声音问题的患病率很高。
