This study aimed to verify the impact of vocal deviation in the quality of life of classical female singers over the quarantine imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic through self-assessments.
Fifty five professional classical female singers filled out an online questionnaire including general questions such as identification, age, professional experience time, vocal classification, time of singing, and rehearsal studies. They all answered the protocol Classical Singing Handicap Index, adapted for this research, which analyses three subscales: Disability, Handicap, and Impairment.
There was no significant difference in the perceived total handicap index score (40% of 120 points). Regarding the three domains analyzed, Disability was significantly higher than Impairment (P = 0.012). In addition, the correlation with the variables identified that Impairment subscale showed a negative correlation with the variable hours of rehearsal (r = -0.335, P = 0.040).
The COVID-19 quarantine does not seem to cause a significant impact on the voice of professional classical female singers probably due to their degree of experience and vocal preparation.
本研究旨在通过自我评估，验证声乐偏差对受 COVID-19 大流行隔离影响的古典女性歌手生活质量的影响。
55 名专业古典女性歌手填写了一份在线问卷，其中包括身份、年龄、专业经验时间、声部、演唱时间和排练研究等一般问题。他们都回答了为这项研究改编的《古典歌唱障碍指数》问卷，该问卷分析了三个分量表：残疾、障碍和损伤。
感知总障碍指数评分（120 分的 40%）没有显著差异。关于分析的三个领域，残疾明显高于损伤（P=0.012）。此外，与所识别变量的相关性表明，损伤分量表与排练时间变量呈负相关（r=-0.335，P=0.040）。
COVID-19 隔离似乎不会对专业古典女性歌手的嗓音产生重大影响，这可能是由于她们的经验水平和声乐准备程度。
