Título: Active teaching methodologies in health area: comparison between the oral and written speeches of college students Autor(es): César, Carla Patrícia Hernandez Alves Ribeiro; Dornelas, Rodrigo; Pellicani, Ariane Damasceno; Guedes-Granzotti, Raphaela Barroso; Domenis, Danielle Ramos; Silva, Kelly da Abstract: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar o desempenho entre os discursos oral e escrito de estudantes de um curso da área da Saúde que utiliza metodologias ativas de ensino. Para tanto, foi planejado estudo de natureza observacional, transversal e analítico, que comparou as notas das produções orais e escritas (portfólios) de estudantes de um curso da área da saúde que utiliza integralmente as metodologias ativas. A amostra foi constituída por 25 estudantes, 23 do sexo feminino e dois do masculino, com idade média de 23 anos (± 5 anos). Para análise estatística utilizaram-se os testes Wilcoxon e o teste de correlação de Pearson, com nível de significância de 5%. Observou-se um menor desempenho dos estudantes no discurso escrito (6,73 ± 1,87) quando comparado ao oral (7,66 ± 2,08), com diferença estatisticamente significativa entre ambos (p<0,01), havendo forte correlação entre as médias obtidas nas duas modalidades avaliadas (R=0,723). Pode-se concluir que os estudantes apresentaram maior dificuldade no discurso escrito quando comparado ao oral, revelando que mesmo com o uso de metodologias ativas, o aprimoramento da comunicação escrita ainda faz-se necessária entre os estudantes da amostra estudada.

Título: Efeitos da terapia da fala em pacientes internados com disfagia pós-acidente cerebrovascular: revisão sistemática de estudos observacionais Autor(es): Andrade, Joice Santos; Souza, Wagner Walter Oliveira de Jesus; Paranhos, Luiz Renato; Domenis, Danielle Ramos; César, Carla Patrícia Hernandez Alves Ribeiro Abstract: Introduction: Since dysphagia may be one of the brain post-stroke consequences, the objective of this study was to analyze the average recovery time of patients with cerebrovascular accident and dysphagia subjected to speech therapy in a hospital bed. Material and Methods: Systematic review performed following the ‘Preferred Reporting Items is Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses’ instructions. The search was performed in different electronic databases, without restriction of time and language. The studies were evaluated regarding their methodological quality. Results: Of 5671 titles, five studies were included. 176 patients with stroke and dysphagia were obtained (aged between 22 and 91 years old – average: 68.95), with no preference regarding gender. Improvement occurred in 84.26% of the subjects and the recovery time was between one and ninety days (average: 22 days). Randomization, blinding, loss to follow-up and withdrawal were not performed with control group in any study. Discussion: The success of rehabilitation of oropharyngeal dysphagia as a post-stroke sequela will depend on the extent, location of the neurological lesion and early intervention in the hospital bed. Despite the recognition of health professionals about the importance of swallowing rehabilitation for these patients, there is a lack of studies that support an evidence-based practice, although the results point to improvements in this regard. Conclusion: Speech therapy in hospital bed in post-stroke hospitalized patients with dysphagia seems to bring satisfactory results in the short-term, revealing the importance of diagnosis and early intervention in these cases.

Título: Função fonatória após o uso prolongado da voz em mulheres brasileiras Autor(es): Pellicani, Ariane Damasceno; Ricz, Hilton Marcos Alves; Ricz, Lilian Neto Aguiar Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the behavior of the phonatory function and the perceived strain in Brazilian young women, before and after a test of prolonged voice use test, for a period of one continuous hour. Methods: Twenty young women without laryngeal disorders participated in the study and were submitted to vocal acoustic analysis (MDVPAdvanced, CSL-Kay Pentax®), perceptual voice assessment, carried out by five judges, and the measurement of speech–strain level using a visual analog scale before and after a prolonged use of the voice, from the reading of a standardized text for one hour in usual vocal intensity and frequency, without breaks for hydration or vocal rest. The description and comparison between the variables and the appropriate statistical analysis were carried out. Results: The acoustic parameters of fundamental (f0) and low frequency (Flo) of the emission increased after 1 hour of voice use, while the values for the amplitude tremor intensity index (Atri), amplitude variation (vAm), noise-to-harmonic ratio (NHR), and soft phonation index (SPI) were reduced after the prolonged voice use test. The judges agreed with the decrease in the overall level of dysphonia (kappa=0.66), roughness (kappa=0.59), and vocal breathiness (kappa=0.73); increased phonatory stability (kappa=0.64); vocal projection (kappa=0.48); pitch (kappa=0.74); and loudness (kappa=0.65). The phonatory strain increased significantly after the test (p=0.003). Conclusion: One hour of prolonged voice use seems to favor laryngeal adaptation and increased adductor muscle activity to maintain vocal efficiency. However, the self-perception of vocal strain is evident and can be understood as a sign of muscle fatigue caused by continuous use.

Dia Mundial da Voz em notícia: análise das reportagens sobre a Campanha da Voz no Brasil

Título: Dia Mundial da Voz em notícia: análise das reportagens sobre a Campanha da Voz no Brasil Autor(es): Carmo, Rodrigo Dornelas do; Giannini, Susana Pimentel Pinto; Ferreira, Léslie Piccolotto Abstract: Purpose: To analyze the television reports on the World Voice Day transmitted by Globo® TV. Method: We researched television reports broadcasted by Globo® Network in regional television news programs from March 15 to April 20, 2013. For the data analysis, the Document Analysis technique was used. The analyzed variables were the following: location, broadcasting period, duration, interviewed professional, mention of multiprofessional work, orientation to the population, and the interview approach (health promotion or disease prevention). Through statistical analysis, the interview approach was considered the outcome and associated with the other variables. Results: On the regions where there are news programs for the researched TV station, the majority made reports about the Voice Campaign. Among these, we discovered that the five regions of Brazil were contemplated, in the morning/afternoon periods, with medium duration of 5.3 minutes. The presence of the speech-language pathologist was observed in greater numbers of the interviews, as also the emphasis on the importance of a multiprofessional work. Regarding the content presented, the interviewees focused on diseases caused by habits that impair the voice, with orientation to the public about what negatively interferes in the vocal well-being. Conclusion: The approach of the interviews was not, in the majority of times, of the same nature (promoting the vocal well-being or preventing voice disorder), and the interprofessional practice is still seen less frequently as a possible work strategy.
