Abstract

Glas je iznimno važan za kvalitetu života pa se problemi u tom području posebno osjete kod pojedinca. Vokalni profesionalci su skupina ljudi koji glas koriste u svrhu obavljanja profesionalne aktivnosti te im je glas osnovni alat za obavljanje posla. U tu skupinu spadaju i odgojitelji. Upravo zbog česte uporabe glasa i dolazi do pojave simptoma poremećaja glasa. U literaturi se često spominju rizični faktori koji mogu doprinijeti pojavi simptoma poremećaja glasa, u vidu životnih navika i okolnih faktora. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati životne navike i radne uvjete odgojitelja u Republici Hrvatskoj te vidjeti kakav je njihov utjecaj na kvalitetu glasa. U istraživanju su sudjelovale 264 odgojiteljice iz raznih dijelova Republike Hrvatske. Za potrebe istraživanja, odgojiteljice su ispunile upitnik putem Google ™ obrazaca. Upitnik se sastojao od 3 dijela (dio o općim informacijama, Upitnik za probir poremećaja glasa (Screening Index for Voice Disorder, SIVD) te Upitnik o varijablama životnih navika i okolnih faktora, kreiran za potrebe istraživanja). Prikupljeni podaci statistički su obrađeni računalnim programom IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji statistički značajna, pozitivna, ali slaba povezanost između lošijih životnih navika i pojave simptoma poremećaja glasa. Također je analizom podataka utvrđeno da postoji i statistički značajna, pozitivna, ali slaba povezanost između lošijih okolnih faktora u radnom okruženju odgojitelja i pojave simptoma poremećaja glasa. Istraživanje dovodi do zaključka kako svaki faktor ima svoj učinak i može pridonijeti nastanku poremećaja glasa pa se stoga ne bi trebao umanjivati njihov značaj. Kako bi se smanjila sveukupna pojavnost poremećaja glasa u ovoj populaciji, potrebno je više vremena provoditi u osvještavanju odgojiteljica i sličnih profesija o rizičnim čimbenicima koji mogu negativno utjecati na njihov glas pa tako i na mogućnost uspješnog obavljanja posla.

Abstract (english)

Voice is extremely important for quality of life, so problems in this area are particularly felt in the individual. Vocal professionals are a group of people who use their voice for the purpose of performing a professional activity, and their voice is a basic tool for doing their job. This group also includes educators. Frequent use of voice is the main reason why the symptoms of voice disorders occur. Risk factors that can contribute to the appearance of symptoms of voice disorders, such as lifestyle and environmental factors, are often mentioned in the literature. The aim of this research is to examine the habits and working conditions of educators in the Republic of Croatia and to see what their impact on voice quality is. 264 educators from different parts of the Republic of Croatia participated in the research. For research purposes, educators completed the questionnaire using Google ™ forms. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts (the section on general information, the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD), and the Questionnaire on Habits and Environmental Factors Variables, created for research purposes). The collected data were statistically processed by the IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 computer program. The results showed that there was a statistically significant, positive but weak association between worse life habits and the onset of symptoms of voice disorders. Data analysis also revealed that there is a statistically significant, positive, but weak association between worse environmental factors in the work environment of the educator and the onset of symptoms of voice disorders. The study concludes that each factor has its effect and can contribute to the emergence of voice disorders, so their importance should not be diminished. In order to reduce the overall occurrence of voice disorders in this population, more time needs to be spent in educating educators and similar professions about risk factors that may adversely affect their voice, including their ability of doing the job properly.
