Abstract(s)
Os estudantes do ensino superior, aparentemente, apresentam um risco mais elevado de desenvolver uma patologia vocal ao longo das suas vidas. No entanto, ainda nĂŁo foi possĂvel averiguar a origem dessas mesmas patologias, podendo resultar de comportamentos na faculdade ou de fatores externos.
Deste modo, Ă© fundamental analisar o conhecimento que os estudantes do ensino superior apresentam acerca da voz, bem como a prevalĂȘncia de hĂĄbitos vocais inadequados nesta geração. Para tal, foi realizado um questionĂĄrio e posteriormente divulgado online. A amostra do estudo Ă© composta por 113 estudantes do ensino superior portugueses e falantes de PortuguĂȘs Europeu. As idades dos inquiridos estĂŁo compreendidas entre os 18 e os 61 anos, sendo que a maioria dos indivĂduos sĂŁo do sexo feminino (80.5%), frequentam um curso superior no Ăąmbito das ciĂȘncias da saĂșde humana (61.9%) e reside na regiĂŁo Norte (92%).
AtravĂ©s de uma anĂĄlise inferencial, verificou-se que existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas na frequĂȘncia de ambientes festivos e de praxe e nos conhecimentos sobre a voz em função da idade, nos hĂĄbitos vocais em função do sexo e do curso frequentado, e ainda nos conhecimentos sobre a voz em função do curso frequentado.
Considerando os resultados obtidos, podemos apenas afirmar que o sexo se trata de um fator de influĂȘncia no que concerne aos hĂĄbitos vocais, uma vez que foi encontrada uma associação entre o sexo feminino e o fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de alteraçÔes vocais.
Higher education students, apparently, are at higher risk of developing a vocal pathology throughout their lives. However, it has not yet been possible to ascertain the origin of these same pathologies, which may result from behaviors in college or from external factors. Thus, it is critical to analyze the knowledge of higher education students about their voice, as well as the prevalence of inappropriate vocal habits in this generation. To this end, a questionnaire was conducted and later posted online. The study sample consists of 113 Portuguese higher education students and European Portuguese speakers. The respondents' ages are between 18 and 61 years old, and the majority of the individuals are female (80.5%), attending a higher education course in the field of human health sciences (61.9%) and living in the North region (92%). An inferential analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the frequency of festivities and praxis and in voice knowledge according to age, in vocal habits according to gender and course attended, and in voice knowledge according to course attended. Considering the results obtained, we can only state that gender is an influential factor regarding vocal habits, since the female gender represents a risk factor for the development of vocal disorders.
