Objectives: To map the phonatory tasks and the result measures used to evaluate vocal fatigue in vocally healthy individuals.
Methods: This is a scoping review based on the following research question: What are the phonatory tasks and outcome measures used for the evaluation of vocal fatigue in vocally healthy individuals? The construction of the search strategy followed the PCC strategy; population: vocally healthy adult individuals; concept: phonatory tasks and vocal evaluation measures; and context: vocal fatigue. The search was performed electronically in the databases Medline (PubMed), LILACS (BVS), SCOPUS (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate), EMBASE, and COCHRANE.
Objective: To evaluate and correlate the risk of dysphonia, the presence of vocal changes and their associated factors, and the vocal self-perception of transgender women.
Method: Observational cross-sectional study in Brazilian transgender women. The analysis addressed their age, length of experience in the gender, perceptual-auditory and acoustic vocal aspects, scores in the General Dysphonia Risk Screening Protocol (DRSP-G), and the Voice Questionnaire for Male-to-Female Transsexuals (TVQ()).
Objective: To map the volitional and non-volitional devices used by speech and language pathologists (SLPs) in voice training and therapy and characterize their use in research on voice interventions.
Methods: This scoping review is the first part of a larger study. The electronic search was carried out by mapping the references in PubMed/Medline, LILACS/BVS, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, and the manual search was carried out in the grey literature.
Objective: To propose a Dysphonia Risk Screening Protocol for Actors (DRSP-A), test its usability in conjunction with the General Dysphonia Risk Screening Protocol (G-DRSP), determine the cut-off point for a high risk of dysphonia in actors, and compare the risk of dysphonia between actors with and without voice disorders.
Method: Observational cross-sectional study with 77 professional actors or students. The questionnaires were applied individually and the total scores were summed to calculate the final score of the Dysphonia Risk Screening (DRS-Final).
