Introduction: Voice problems are
widespread in professions where the voice is actively used. Imams are a group
where the voice is used professionally, The aim was to investigate the
prevalence of voice problems in imams and to determine the potential risk
factors. Methods: A questionnaire
was developed in our clinic to obtain information about the voice load,
prevalence of voice problems, habits and diseases affecting voice quality in
1500 imams randomly selected from mosques in the Kahramanmaraş region of
Turkey. The completed forms of 514 imams (34% response rate) were included in
the study. Results: It was
determined that 36.6% of the imams included in the study had experienced voice
problems in their occupation, and the most common reasons were seen to be
reflux and upper respiratory tract infections. Lack of knowledge of correct
breathing exercises and frequent clearing of the throat were significant risk
factors. The imams who used a microphone did not smoke and had regular eating
and drinking habits were determined to experience voice problems less
frequently. Conclusion: As imams do
not receive training on correct use of the voice, vocal hygiene and breathing
during their religious education, voice disorders are frequently seen. To
reduce the complaints of voice problems, training on correct use of the voice
and points to which attention must be paid should be given in addition to
religious training.

Giriş: Ses problemi aktif olarak sesin kullanıldığı
mesleklerde yaygındır. İmamlar profosyonel ses kullanıcılar grubunda olup ses
bozuklukları gelişiminde risk altındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı imamlarda ses
sorunlarının yaygınlığını araştırmak ve muhtemel risk faktörlerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Kahramanmaraş bölgesinde
rastgele seçilen 1500 cami imamında ses yükü, ses bozukluklarının yaygınlığı,
alışkanlıkları ve ses kalitesini etkileyen hastalıklar hakkında bilgi
edinebilmek için kliniğimizce oluşturulan anket düzenlendi. Anketleri teslim
eden 514 imamın bilgileri değerlendirildi. Bulgular:
Çalışmamızda imamların % 36,6’sında görevleri sırasında ses sorunları
yaşadığı görüldü. Reflü ve solunum yolu enfeksiyonları ses problemlerinin en
yaygın sebebi idi. Doğru nefes egzersizini bilmeme, sık sık boğaz temizleme de
önemli risk faktörleri arasında idi. Mikrofon kullanan, sigara içmeyen ve yeme
içme alışkanlıkları düzgün olan imamlarda ses sorunlarının daha nadir olarak
görüldüğü tespit edildi. Sonuç: İmamlarda
dini eğitim sırasında doğru ses kullanımı, vokal hijyen ve nefes eğitimi almama
nedeni ile ses bozukluğu şikayeti sık olarak görülmektedir. Ses şikayetlerinin
azalması için dini eğitimin yanında sesin doğru kullanımı ve dikkat edilmesi
gereken hususların eğitimi de verilmelidir.
