Abstract

This study aimed to provide knowledge helpful for understanding voice problems related to occupations in the clinical field through an investigation and comparison of subjective vocal symptoms of 12 professional actors and 12 speech-language pathologists Among the 11 symptoms, "Difficulty with high pitch when singing," "Hypertension in the neck when speaking," and "Feel voice fatigue" were the most frequent symptoms in both groups. Additionally, the professional voice users reported a higher frequency of "Difficulty with high pitch when singing" (p=.049), "Hoarse voice" (p=.021), "Difficulty (requiring effort) when speaking" (p=.032), "Pain in the neck when speaking" (p=.009), and "Feel vocal fatigue" (p=.018) than the elite vocal performer group. This may be due to the different voice-related environments and differences in voice demands during occupational activities between the two groups.

본 연구는 임상현장에서 직업에 따라 요구되는 음성문제를 이해하는데 도움이 되는 자료를 제공하기 위해 전문 음성 사용자인 직업배우와 직업적 음성사용자인 언어재활사의 주관적 음성증상을 조사하여 그 빈도를 알아보고, 두 집단 간의 주관적 음성증상에 차이가 있는지 비교하였다. 그 결과, 두 집단은 동일하게 11개의 증상 중 '노래 시 고음발성 곤란', '말할 때 목에 힘이 들어감', '음성피로감'이 고빈도 증상으로 나타났다. 두 집단의 주관적 음성증상을 비교한 결과 직업적 음성사용자 집단은 전문 음성사용자 집단에 비해 '노래 시 저음발성 곤란(p=.049)', '쉰 목소리(p=.021)', '말할 때 힘이 듦(p=.032)', '말할 때 목에 통증이 있음(p=.009)', '음성피로감(p=.018)'의 빈도가 더 빈번한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 두 집단의 음성사용 환경이 다르고, 직업활동 시 요구되는 발성의 차이로 인한 것으로 사료된다.
