Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify barriers and the readiness of school teachers to engage with voice therapy based on existing literature, focusing on methods, challenges in accessing therapy, and overall willingness to participate in interventions for vocal health.
- Researchers followed a systematic process to review and analyze 29,698 articles, ultimately finding 26 relevant studies that highlighted barriers such as misconceptions about voice therapy, difficulties in seeking help, and challenges in maintaining therapy practices.
- Most teachers demonstrated low readiness for participation in voice therapy, often in early stages of behavioral change, signaling a need for more targeted research addressing the unique circumstances teachers face.
Aim: The study aimed to identify the item hierarchy of the Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI) in school teachers using Mokken Scaling Analysis (MSA).
Method: A total of 362 school teachers from five zones in Chennai city, southern part of India, participated in the study. All subjects completed a subject-information form that had details such as age, sex, duration of vocal demand per day, number of classes taken, grades taught, and years of experience and VFI.
Objective: Cepstral measures are sensitive to slightest deviance in voice quality. Vocal fatigue is an initial symptom of a voice disorder. This study aimed (1) to assess the correlation of vocal fatigue and cepstral measures and (2) to identify a measure for analyzing voice change due to vocal fatigue in individuals with hyperfunctional voice disorders.
