pesquisa transversal, não-experimental, retrospectiva e quantitativa, com utilização de banco de dados. Analisaram-se 105 registros de sujeitos de ambos os gêneros, profissionais e/ou estudantes futuros profissionais da voz na faixa etária de 190 a 426 anos. Foram utilizados dados relativos à idade, profissão, gênero, quantidade e condições de hidratação, tempo de uso da voz e queixas de ressecamento. Foram utilizados Teste de Hipótese para Proporção, Teste Qui-Quadrado e Teste exato de Fisher.
a maioria dos profissionais e futuros profissionais da voz a utilizava por menos de oito horas diárias e possuía água disponível no trabalho. Aqueles que ingeriam menos de sete copos de água diários apresentavam tempo diário de uso vocal menor do que oito horas e aqueles que ingeriam mais de sete copos de água por dia tinham água disponível no trabalho.
