简要总结

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand how viewing educational health modules impacts vocal health behaviors in mask-wearing healthcare workers.

详细描述

Results of the investigators' previous work showed that mask-wearing healthcare workers have difficulty with voice and communication. Healthcare workers reported significant increases in vocal effort and dyspnea while wearing masks, and showed greater effort and poorer vocal quality at the end of the workday compared to the beginning of the day. Despite these negative changes, very few healthcare workers reported using any type of communication strategy (e.g., taking breaks, using gestures). Therefore, the investigators developed educational modules to address the voice and communication problems facing this population. This clinical trial plans to evaluate how these educational modules impact subjective/objective voice and communication measures in mask-wearing healthcare workers.

结局指标

主要结局

Change in amount of Vocal Effort after 1 week

时间窗: Assessed prior to module viewing and again 1-week later

A self-perceptual rating of voice exertion and how hard it is to make a voice. The vocal effort scale will be rated on a 100-mm visual analog scale in which the left side (score of 0) indicates "no effort" to produce a voice, and the right side (score of 100) indicates "the most effort" to create a voice.

Learning of Health Information

时间窗: Assessed immediately after viewing the modules

Answer questions about the content of the module (short answer, multiple choice, true/false)

次要结局

  • Change in Relative fundamental frequency(Assessed prior to viewing modules, and then 1-week later)
  • Module Information Retention(Assessed at second session)
