Abstract:
The actions in Occupational Speech Therapy are becoming more evident with the emergence of new experiences and interventions that aim to intercept the disease process, emphasizing the prevention and protection of vocal health in the occupational context. This work aims to analyze how health and occupational vocal conservation actions are being implemented. This is an integrative literature review, whose survey was carried out from June to October 2020, in the Capes Periódicos platform, using the descriptors "worker's health" and voice. After applying the defined exclusion and inclusion criteria and subtraction of repeated publications, a total of 16 articles were selected. The teacher's voice has been a priority object in Brazilian speech therapy research in recent years. The results presented show the importance of health promotion actions that aim at the well-being of workers as a whole, in an integral and multidisciplinary way. Occupational vocal health and conservation actions encompass activities related to vocal health surveillance and risk conditions for the development of voice disorders, vocal health education, direct vocal interventions, voice assessment, laryngological assessment, referrals and assessment of workers' perception of the proposed actions.
