Abstract
Abstract Objective: To estimate the productivity reduction costs associated to self-reported voice symptoms, low sleep quality, and high stress levels among college professors during homeworking in times of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study included fifty-eight college professors who reported their reduction in productivity at work due to self-perceived stress levels, sleep quality, and voice symptoms. Results: High stress levels were reported by 24% of the participants, whereas 19% reported voice symptoms, and 3% low sleep quality. Costs associated with the three conditions were calculated for twenty-nine subjects. Productivity costs associated with high stress levels were higher (COP$32.345.925) than those for voice symptoms (COP$1.872.703) and low sleep quality (COP$319.733). Conclusion: Productivity reduction costs were higher for professors who reported high levels of stress followed by participants with self-reported voice symptoms and low sleep quality, which highlight the importance of prioritizing activities to reduce stress levels and voice symptoms in workplace health promotion programs implemented in educational settings.
