Ama-Aches Nezinhlungu Zokusebenza Ekhaya Ngesikhathi se-COVID-19

Okuthunyelwe izivakashi nguDkt Evan Johnson noDkt Nomita Sonty.

Ukusebenza esikhungweni esikhulu sezokwelapha e-NYC ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwesifo se-COVID-19, akumangazi ukuthi sihlangane neziguli eziningi ezifuna ukunakekelwa kithi sobabili: isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo somtholampilo esigxile ebuhlungwini nodokotela owelapha izifo zomgogodla. . Ukunqanyulwa komphakathi, ukucindezeleka ngokomzwelo, ukulahleka okungaqondakali, kanye nokuhlupheka komzimba okuholele ekucindezelekeni kwesifo esingaziwa kanye nokukhiya okuveze isidingo sokwelashwa nokunakekelwa ngokomzimba.

UMoretti nozakwabo bathole ukuthi ukusebenza ekhaya ngesikhathi sobhadane lwe-COVID-19 kuholele engcupheni eyengeziwe yempilo yezengqondo nezinkinga zemisipha, ikakhulukazi lezo ezithinta umgogodla (UMoretti, uMenna et al. 2020). Ukucindezeleka okuqhubekayo, ukuphazamiseka kokulala, ukukhathala, izinhlungu eqolo, kanye nokuphathwa yikhanda kukhulisiwe ezigulini zethu eziningi ezibangelwe ukushintsha kwezimfuno zomsebenzi nokwanda kokungaqiniseki okwabangelwa ubhadane lwe-COVID-19.

Isinyathelo seCommonwealth Fund sikaCharity Versus Arthritis senze ucwaningo ngabasebenzi abasebenza emakhaya ngenxa yesifo i-COVID-19 (Webber 2020). Abaphenyi kulolo cwaningo bathole ukuthi u-50% wabaphendulile unezinhlungu eziphansi emuva futhi u-36% unezinhlungu zentamo, kuyilapho u-46% wabaphenduli babike ukuthi bebephuza amaphilisi ezinhlungu kaningi kunalokho abebengathanda (Webber 2020). Kucwaningo olufanayo, i-89% yalabo abahlushwa ubuhlungu beqolo, ihlombe, noma intamo ngenxa yendawo yabo entsha yokusebenza bebengatshelanga umqashi wabo ngakho. Sibone imiphumela yalokhu kucindezela okwengeziwe kanye nokuhlupheka buthule kubantu abaphule amandla ngokomzimba nangokomzwelo.

Sethula amacala amabili ahlanganisiwe ngezansi aqukethe izici zezethulo ezivamile zesiguli ukuze kukhanyise ukuxhumana kokukhathazeka ngokwengqondo nangokomzimba okutholwa yiziguli zethu ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwe-COVID-19. Kwesinye isikhathi, salapha isiguli okwakudingeka siphathe amakilasi angokoqobo nezinye izidingo zansuku zonke zezingane zaso ngenkathi silwela ukugcina ukubukeka kobungcweti emsebenzini ofunekayo ngemihlangano eqhubekayo yeZoom. Uhlanganyele nokuthi uzizwa sengathi uyahluleka njengomzali futhi uhambisana nezibopho zakhe zomsebenzi. Ukukhathazeka kwakhe ngaphambi kwesikhathi kwaba kubi kakhulu futhi nempilo yakhe yahlupheka njengoba isisindo sakhe sasikhuphuka. Uhlale amahora amade egoqiwe phambi kwezikrini eziningi ezinamahlombe ayindilinga nokuma phambili kwekhanda.

Kunobufakazi bokuthi abantu abandisa isikhathi besebenza kwikhompyutha, noma bebuka umakhalekhukhwini, bahlushwa izinqumo nemiphumela yezempilo empofu (Vizcaino, Buman et al. 2020). Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba ubhadane lwe-COVID-19 luphoqe iningi lethu ukuthi lenyuse isikhathi sethu sesikrini, ucwaningo lukhombise ukuthi iningi labantu abadala lichitha isikhathi esiningi noma esiningi bebuka isikrini njengoba belala (iHammond 2013).

Amahlombe ayindilinga anokuma kwaphambili kwekhanda yindlela yokuzivikela ekhombisa ukubuyela emuva ngaphambi kwempucuko lapho ukuvikela umphimbo womuntu kwakuyimpendulo efanelekile kubacindezeli ababangelwa yizilwane ezidlayo. Ukwenza kusebenze ukulwa noma ukundiza kwesifo kuholele okhokho bethu ukuthi benze ushintsho lomzimba omfushane ngendlela yokuphefumula okungajulile, ukukhuphuka kwenhliziyo, kanye nesimo sokulungela ukuphakama kwesistimu yemisipha. Emiphakathini ethuthukile lapho ukucindezeleka nokukhathazeka kuvame ukuba ngumphumela wezinsongo eziqhubekayo, ezingabonakali, izimpendulo zethu ziba yinkinga futhi zingathuthukisa ama-syndromes ezinhlungu ngamaphethini okushintsha okuphefumula kanye nokuqina kwemisipha ngokweqile ngemuva, entanyeni nasemahlombe.

Endabeni yalomuntu, izimpawu zakhe zangaphambi kobhadane zobuhlungu bentamo, ikhanda, nobuhlungu bomhlathi konke kwaba kubi kakhulu futhi kwahlanganisa ukucindezeleka kwakhe ngokomzwelo, kwamkhuthaza ukuba afune usizo. Sihlangabezane nokwehluka kwale mpendulo ebangeni elibanzi labantu lapho bebhekene nobusha besifo kanye nezinguquko eziphoqelele izimpilo zabo.

Zishukunyiswa yinhlanganisela ethile yokwanda kwesikhathi sesikrini, amahora omsebenzi angachazwanga kahle, ukuhlala wedwa emphakathini, kanye nengcindezi yomndeni, iziguli zibike ukuthi zinomuzwa wokuthi isimo sazo somzimba siwohloka, njengoba ukugula kwazo kuqhubekela esimweni esisongela inhlalakahle yazo ngokomzwelo nempilo yazo. Isibonelo esisodwa esingabikwa kakhulu sezinguquko ezingalindelekile zenhlalo nezingcindezi zomndeni zenzeka ngokuhlangana kwabazali abanezingane ezindala ababuyela ekuphepheni komndeni womndeni lapho kuphoqelelwa ukuvinjelwa.

Sihlanganyele nesiguli esikhulile esishiye indlu yaso sayohlala nabazali baso. Ngokushesha wafuna amaseshini we-telehealth ngesikhathi sobhadane ngenxa yalokho okwakungasheshe kukhubaze izinhlungu zasemhlane, entanyeni, nasehlombe ezazingalawulwa ubuhlungu obukhulayo nemithi elwa nokuvuvukala ebekwe ngudokotela wakhe.

Amandla omndeni afaka isandla esimweni sakhe abekhonjiswa njalo ngezikhathi zokwelashwa ngokomzimba, njengoba egcizelela ukuthi umama wakhe afeze indima yokuba ngumthwebuli wevidiyo (iziguli eziningi ziyaphumelela ekuphatheni ikhamera ngokuzimela ngezikhathi zokwelashwa ngokomzimba), bese ekhuza umama wakhe ngokuphatha kwakhe kabi ifoni. Njengoba ukuxhumana kwabo kwakuvame kakhulu, ukungezwani kwakhuphuka emisipheni yakhe ephezulu ye-trapezius, amahlombe akhe anyukela ngasezindlebeni zakhe, futhi ikhanda lakhe, ubuhlungu bangemuva nangentamo bakhuphuka. Ukuze aphathe kahle izikhalazo zakhe zobuhlungu bebhande emuva, entanyeni nasemahlombe kwakudingeka abhekane nakho konke ukusethwa kwakhe kwe-ergonomic endlini yomzali wakhe kanye nemizwa yakhe yokuba sekhaya nonina noyise.

Sanquma ukuzivocavoca ukwelula imisipha yakhe ye-pectoral ngaphambili kwesifuba sakhe, ukuhoxisa isilevu sakhe ukwenza kulunge ukuqondana komgogodla, nokuzivocavoca umoya ngokuphefumula njengoba enza isikena somzimba futhi ekhipha imisipha engafuneki. Wathuthuka ngokulingene ngokunakekelwa akutholayo, kodwa ukukhululeka kwakhe okukhulu kweza lapho ebuyela efulethini lakhe nasendleleni yokuphila ezimele ngokwengeziwe. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi umama wakhe wafuna ukunakekelwa ngaphakathi komuntu izimo ezifanayo nezendodana yakhe ngokushesha nje lapho imikhawulo yokukhiya ikhululiwe.

Lapho samukela ingcindezi njengoshintsho endleleni yethu yokuphila eqhubekayo esiphoqa ukuba sivumelane nezimo, singabona kalula ukuthi sonke sibhekane nengcindezelo enkulu ngo-2020 futhi sizoqhubeka nokuhlangabezana nezingcindezi ngonyaka ka-2021. Uma siphendula ngokuqina lapho lapho sibhekene nobunzima singakwazi ukubhekana nokukhathazeka okubangelwa yingcindezi nobuhlungu bemisipha. Ukubhekana kahle kungenziwa ngokulunywa okuncane. Nawa amanye amathiphu:
