I-COVID-19 yezeMpilo yeNgqondo: Abasebenzi beNkxaso bazabalazela ukujongana neCope

I-COVID-19, eyaziwa njenge-coronavirus yenoveli, yabhengezwa njengobhubhane nguMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi nge-11 ka-Matshi 2020. Iye yabaluleka ngakumbi ukuqonda kungekuphela nje iimpawu zomzimba kodwa nefuthe nakwimpilo yengqondo.

Ngelixa kugxilwe kuphando lwangoku ikakhulu kubongikazi kunye noogqirha, okanye ifuthe lokwahlukaniswa kwezentlalo, kubalulekile ukuba uqwalasele indlela echaphazeleka ngayo impilo yabanye abanonopheli abaziingcali kunye nabantu abaxhasayo. Njengomsebenzi wenkxaso ophuhlisayo kunye nommeli wabantu abasesichengeni, ndiyaqonda ukuba ukusebenza kwindawo yoxinzelelo oluphezulu kunokubangela iimeko zempilo yengqondo ngakumbi xa sixhasa abo baneemfuno ezinzima zomzimba okanye zokuziphatha ngexesha lobunzima.

Ingxelo yeTrauma neMpilo yeNgqondo (i-TMHR) yenze udliwanondlebe nabantu abaninzi ngoku abasebenza nabantu abasesichengeni ngexesha lesifo se-COVID-19. UToni (igama litshintshiwe ukukhusela ukungaziwa), umntu oxhasa abantu abadala abanezifo ezintsokothileyo zophuhliso, wabelana ngendlela uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo oluchaphazele ngayo impilo yakhe yengqondo kunye nempilo yengqondo yabathengi bakhe:

“Wonke umntu endisebenza naye uyasokola ngandlela thile. Ngoku ndikwisikhundla apho ndizama ukuxhasa abathengi bam abafumana ukwehla kwempilo yabo yengqondo, ngelixa ndizama ukumelana nam. Ukuxhalaba kwam kunye noloyiko ngekamva aluzange luphakame kangako, kodwa ndizama ukubonisa ubuso obukhaliphileyo xa ndiphangela. ”

UHannah (igama litshintshiwe), umongikazi osebenzayo kwi-gerontology, wathi impilo yakhe yengqondo ichaphazelekile:

"Ndifumene ukwanda okumangalisayo koxinzelelo lwam mva nje kwaye ndisoyika mna, usapho, nabahlobo kwaye ngakumbi abahlali bam. Iimvakalelo zam ziye zanzima kakhulu kwaye ziphantsi kokuphinda ndisebenze ngenxa yeemeko zangaphandle, uninzi lwazo olungaphaya kolawulo lwam. Ngokutsho oku, uninzi lwezi mvakalelo lusebenza ngokujonga iimeko. ”

Abanye, njengoDominic (igama litshintshiwe), osebenza kwizifo zengqondo ezigwenxa, uphawule ukuba ukusebenza ngexesha lobhubhane kubangele utshintsho oluncinci kwimpilo yakhe yengqondo:

“Ndizama ngako konke okusemandleni ukuba ndingakucingi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kwihlabathi ngoku ukuze ndikwazi ukunqanda ukuziva ndisoyika kakhulu okanye ndisoyika. Bendi landela izikhokelo esizifumanayo emsebenzini ukunciphisa ukwanda kosulelo. Okwangoku, akukho matyala aqinisekisiweyo kwindawo yethu, ke xa eyokuqala isenzeka, ndiziva ukuba ndiza kuqala ukuxhalaba. ”

Umxholo oqhelekileyo phakathi kwabo kudliwanondlebe nabo kukuba bonke bafumana uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo olubangelwa lutshintsho ekuziphatheni kwabaxhasi babo okunempembelelo kokubini impilo yabo yengqondo kunye nokukwazi kwabo ukuxhasa abathengi ngokufanelekileyo. UCaroline (igama litshintshiwe), umongikazi osebenzayo kwi-gerontology esebenza kumgangatho wenkxaso ye-dementia, ucacisile:

“Abahlali abaninzi baxhomekeke kwisiqhelo, kodwa ukusukela kwi-COVID-19, abahlali banyanzelwa ukuba bafumane indlela yabo entsha. Abasakwazi ukuphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo kwaye banyanzelwa ukuba bazihlukanise okonyuse umlindo wokuzibulala. Abahlali bahlala bechaza kum indlela abanesizungu ngayo kunye nendlela aboyika ngayo impilo-ntle yabo yonke imihla. Isikolo sobuhlengikazi sandifundisa ukusebenzisa amayeza, ukufaka iicatheters, kunye nezinye izakhono zobunesi kodwa andizange ndifundiswe indlela yokuphatha abahlali abafuna ukuzibulala. Yonke imihla ndiva abahlali bethetha izinto ezinje, 'Ndifuna ukuzibulala' okanye 'akukho nto ndingayiphilela okwangoku', kwaye ndiziva ndinolu xinzelelo lokuthetha into elungileyo, kodwa yeyiphi eyona nto ifanelekileyo ukuyithetha? Ndizifumana ndilala ebusuku ndizibuza kwaye ndinethemba lokuba ndithethe into elungileyo. Olu luloyiko oluhlala luhleli kwaye into ebuhlungu kukuba sisiqalo nje esi. ”

Abanye, njengoChris (igama litshintshiwe), oxhasa abantu abane-autism spectrum disorder kunye ne-fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, bachaze indlela utshintsho kwindlela yesiqhelo olunefuthe elikhulu ngayo kubaxhasi bakhe:

“Indlela yesiqhelo ibaluleke kakhulu kubahlali. Isiqhelo yindlela abajonga ngayo kwaye bahambe ngayo imini yabo. Ke, ngokungakwazi ukuya eluntwini okanye ukuya esikolweni, ishedyuli yabo iyonke ngoku ayikho. Ngokuqinisekileyo kube nzima kubo ukuba baqonde kwaye basebenze ngenxa yokuba (abasebenzi kunye nabahlali) asazi ukuba oku kuza kuphela nini. Kubekho ixhala, ukudideka, nokunye okuninzi. Abakuqhelanga ukwenza oku ngaphandle kwesiqhelo kwaye unamathele ngaphakathi ixesha elide. Oko abahlali badlula kuko, siyabaxhasa abasebenzi abadlula kuko nabo. Silapho kuko konke ukuvalwa, ukunyuka, nayo yonke into onokuyicinga. Ukuba bekukho indlela yokwenza konke oku kumise kubo; Ndingayenza. ”

Bonke abo kudliwanondlebe nabo bavakalise inkxalabo malunga nempilo yengqondo engoku yabantu abaxhasayo, uxinzelelo olunxulumene nokusasazeka kwe-COVID-19 kubantu abanzima kwezonyango, kunye nobunzima obandayo bokuziphatha kunye nokuziphatha kwengqondo kwabaxumi babo. Kodwa babuye bancoma indlela abazama ngayo ukuhlala benethemba kwaye bajongane noko. Ngamazwi kaChris:

“Ndisoloko ndizama ngako konke okusemandleni ukukhumbula iintsuku ezimnandi kwezi zinzima kakhulu. Nokuba ndifuna ukubaleka nokuzimela, kufuneka ndibekhona kubahlali, hayi kuba ingumsebenzi wam kuphela, kodwa kuba ndibakhathalele kakhulu kangangokuba bandinceda ndiqhubeke nayo yonke le nto. Nokuba ingaxinezeleka kangakanani yonke lento, bathetha umhlaba kum kwaye badinga yonke inkxaso abanokuyifumana ngoku. ”
