Objective:
To characterize the sociodemographic profile of Basic Education teachers and analyze associations
between vocal symptoms reported in perception protocols with videolaryngoscopy. Methods: A descriptive,
cross-sectional study with 107 female teachers, aged 40-49 years, working in seven public schools in Goiânia,
Goiás, Brazil. The interviews were applied to sociodemographic aspects, perception protocols through the Voice
Disorder Screening Index, Participation in Voice Profile and Activities, and videolaryngoscopy exam. Results:
The calculation of the sample was performed by descriptive analysis, bivariate and odds ratio. In the sample
72 (67%) of the teachers were elementary school teachers, 23 (21%) Infant and Child Education, 12 (11%) in
Special Education. 33 (31%) described working time between 1-10 years, 46 (43%) between 11-20 years and 28
(26%) between 20 years. For the shift, 56 (52%) worked in one period, 46 (43%) in both periods and 5 (5%) in
three periods. The prevalence of female teachers with vocal symptoms reported 82 (77%) and laryngeal changes
for videolaryngoscopy 44 (41%). There was a significant difference between the symptoms of hoarseness (p =
0.005), loss of voice (p = 0.042) and breakdown of voice (p = 0.002) in relation to videolaryngoscopy. Vocal
fatigue was the symptom most reported by female teachers, with 21%. There was no significant association
between sociodemographic data and laryngeal changes. Conclusion: There was a significant association between
hoarseness with vocal symptoms, loss of voice, and break or failure of voice, referred by female teachers with
laryngeal alterations associated with videolaryngoscopy. The study showed female teachers with associations
between vocal symptoms reported in the protocols and changes in videolaryngoscopy, female teachers with vocal
symptoms reported in the protocols, without changes in the videolaryngoscopy tests, as well as female teachers
without vocal symptoms, but with changes in the videolaryngoscopy tests. The clinic is important at all times for an
interdisciplinary treatment.
