Resumo: |
Among the various professional segments we can highlight university professors, whose work environment can present a set of health risks. Environmental conditions are not always favorable for the final activity, in this case teaching and learning. Among the stressors, noise stands out, because even at not so high levels, it can cause a series of health effects. Objective. To investigate noise perception, health effects and vocal symptoms in professors at a private university. Method. Crosssectional observational survey study, carried out with 96 professors from a private university. The procedures included the application of two instruments: a questionnaire about discomfort caused by noise and other effects and the Voice Disorder Screening Index (ITDV). Statistical analyzes were descriptive and inferential. Results. The sample consisted mainly of women (65.6%) and the average age was 62 years. Of the total, 80 (83.3%) stated that the university is “almost always” and “always” noisy and the most cited health effects were: it affects work efficiency (48.9%), stress (40.6 %), exhaustion (39.6%), affect reasoning (39.6%), distraction (37.5%), bad mood (36.4) and dissatisfaction (35.4%), among others. The most frequent voice symptoms were dry throat (47.9%), throat clearing and dry cough (both with 45.8%); and hoarseness (43.7%). The ITDV index indicated that 32 (33.3%) teachers had a voice complaint and needed referrals to a specialist. After the COVID Pandemic, most report that they work more intensely (n= 66 - 68.7%). Inferential analyzes with regression models indicated that the increased chance of noise annoyance is related to the number of sound sources (13.4%), having voice complaints (3.8%) and having normal audiometry (18. 6%). Teachers under 57 years of age have higher scores on the noise effects scales The chance of noise annoyance is 18.9 times greater in teachers with voice complaints. The one-year increase in teaching time increases the chance of having a voice complaint by 5.74 times. Conclusion. Exposure to noise, age and working time as a teacher impact day-to-day activities and can cause annoyance, stress, affect efficiency at work and increase the chance of voice problems |
