Area of Science:

Occupational Health
Communication Sciences
Laryngology

Background:

Healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, SLPs) face high voice demands, increasing their risk for voice disorders.
This review synthesizes prevalence, symptoms, and diagnoses of voice disorders in these professions.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the prevalence and types of voice disorders among physicians, nurses, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs).
To identify risk factors and highlight data gaps for audiologists and dentists.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE following PRISMA guidelines.
Inclusion of observational studies reporting voice disorder prevalence and types in target professions.

Main Results:

Prevalence of voice complaints varied: 53% in physicians/students, 9%-37% in nurses, and 33%-77% in SLPs/students.
Vocal fatigue affected up to 71% of SLP students; diagnosed pathologies were less common (5.1%).
High vocal load, long work hours, and poor conditions were identified risk factors; data for audiologists and dentists were unavailable.

Conclusions:

Voice disorders and symptoms are frequently reported by physicians, nurses, and SLPs, with subjective complaints outweighing diagnosed pathologies.
Methodological inconsistencies and reliance on self-reported data limit prevalence estimates.
Standardized assessments and longitudinal studies are recommended for better understanding and intervention development.
