Preventing Dyspnea During Speech in Older Speakers
Self-Regulated Airflow Management in Daily Communicative Activities to Prevent Dyspnea During Speech in Older Speakers
Due to various comorbidities affecting the respiratory system, older speakers are at risk of experiencing breathing discomfort (dyspnea) during high-demand vocal activities such as singing, loud speaking, and speaking while exercising. Dyspnea during speech can promote avoidance of certain situations involving voice production, thus leading to vocal deconditioning and decreased quality of life. The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 4-week remote group intervention targeting phonatory dyspnea, and to gather preliminary efficacy data.
Participants will receive an intervention including a 2-week socialization phase (control condition) and a 4-week speech breathing intervention phase (experimental condition). Both phases will be delivered remotely and in a group setting (10 participants per group).

Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: All participants
This is a single-arm trial.
All participants will receive (1) a control condition (socialization phase, 2 weeks) and (2) an intervention condition (speech breathing intervention, 4 weeks).
Group sessions will take place once a week, and participants will be instructed to practice their exercises every day at home during the study duration.
|
Control condition: does not involve speech-related exercises
Experimental condition: involves speech-related exercises

Principaux critères de jugement
Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in reported dyspnea
Délai: Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.
|
Participant self-ratings of dyspnea on the University of Cincinnati Dyspnea Questionnaire.
This questionnaire contains 30 items scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all short of breath) to 5 (always short of breath or cannot do).
A higher scores indicates greater shortness of breath and therefore greater handicap.
|
Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.
|
|
Change in reported voice handicap
Délai: Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.
|
Participant self-ratings of voice handicap on the Voice Handicap Index-10.
The Voice Handicap Index-10 is an ordinal scale that measures the degree of handicap a person experiences because of their voice disorder.
Each item is scored on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4. The minimum score is 0 and the maximal score 40.
A higher score indicates a greater perceived voice handicap.
|
Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.

Délai |
|---|---|---|

Change in reported self-efficacy
Délai: Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.
|
Participant self-ratings of self-efficacy for managing their symptoms, using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Self-Efficacy Questionnaire - Managing Symptoms.
This questionnaire contains 28 items, each scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (I am not at all confident) to 5 (I am very confident).
A higher score indicates a greater self-efficacy.
|
Assessed at baseline, after the 2-week control condition, and after the 4-week experimental condition.
|
|
Acceptability of the intervention
Délai: Assessed after the 4-week experimental condition, at the end of the study period.
|
Participants' perceived acceptability of the intervention using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure.
This questionnaire contains 5 items scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree).
A higher score indicates a greater acceptability.
|
Assessed after the 4-week experimental condition, at the end of the study period.
