I-athikili yakamuva, kufayela le- Ijenali ye-American Medical Association (I-JAMA), ibona ukuthi ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kuzobe kugxile ezinhlakeni zenhlalo yempilo yengqondo ngezinga elikhulu kakhulu. Ngokusho kukaCarrie Henning-Smith, izici zomphakathi zitholakale ukuthi zibhekele amaphesenti angama-80 kuya kwangama-90 emiphumela yezempilo, kungakhathalekile intuthuko kwezokwelapha nasekunakekelweni kwezempilo. Ukholelwa ukuthi ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kwabantu kanye nemiphakathi ngeke kuthuthuke uma kungalungiswa izimbangela eziyimbangela — okungukuthi, ukuhlala wedwa emphakathini nokuba nesizungu.

Ukuzihlukanisa nomphakathi — kulinganiswa ngenombolo nobuningi bokuxhumana nomndeni, abangani, nomphakathi, kuhlotshaniswa namazinga akhulayo esizungu nokuzibulala, umfutho wegazi ophakeme neminye imiphumela yempilo yomzimba kubantu.

I-AARP ibike ukuthi amaphesenti ayi-14 abantu baseMelika ahlukanisiwe emphakathini ngo-2017 kepha abalwa ama- $ 6.7 billion ekusetshenzisweni kweMedarere. Ngokwenhlolovo kazwelonke ngo-2020, amaphesenti angama-61 alabo abaneminyaka engama-50 nangaphezulu babika ukuhlukaniswa komphakathi ngaphambi kokuba kuqale ubhadane lwe-COVID, ikakhulukazi labo abahlala ezindaweni zasemakhaya. Noma kunjalo, uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo aluvame ukuskena noma luxoxe ngokuzihlukanisa nomphakathi neziguli.

Ngaphandle kokuhlukaniswa nomphakathi, uHenning-Smith ugxila kwisizungu, esibonakala sihluke kakhulu ekuhlukanisweni nomphakathi.Isizungu sivela ngokungafani phakathi kwamazinga afunekayo nangempela wokuxhumana nabantu futhi sihambisana nemiphumela emibi yezempilo.

I-UK ingaphambi kwe-U.S. Kuzinqubomgomo nezindlela zayo zokuzihlukanisa nomphakathi, okuholele emisha emikhulu. Idolobha laseLeeds lihlomisa abasebenzi basemadolobheni angaphambili ngohlelo lokusebenza olubavumela, uma bengekho emphakathini, ukubhala phansi izimpawu ezingahle zihlukaniswe nekheli — izimpumputhe ezivaliwe, izinqwaba zeposi. Cishe u- $ 6.7 million unikezwe izinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo ngezinhlelo zokufinyelela ezinombolweni ezikhulayo zabantu abasengozini yesizungu.

I-Rush University Medical Center eChicago ingeze umbuzo wokuxhumana nabantu kuthuluzi layo elijwayelekile leSocial Determinants of Health: “Esontweni elijwayelekile, ukhuluma kangaki nomndeni, abangane, noma omakhelwane?” Abasebenzi nabagijimayo benza izingcingo zokuxhumana masonto onke kulabo abazicelayo. Imiphumela yesizungu nokuhlukaniswa kulabo abasezikhungweni zokunakekelwa zesikhathi eside phakathi nobhadane kubangela abanakekeli ukuthi babheke izindlela zokwandisa izinqubomgomo zokuxhumana nabantu kanye nezokuvakasha ngenkathi beqhubeka nokusekela amasu okulawula ukutheleleka.

I-Public Health Solutions, inhlangano yezempilo yomphakathi egxile ekwenzeni ngcono impilo nenhlalakahle yemindeni kanye nemiphakathi esengozini eNew York City, ithole ukuthi abantu abadala asebekhulile abahlala ezindlini zomphakathi babebhekene nokuhlukaniswa komphakathi okwandayo phakathi nobhadane lwe-COVID-19, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokungakwazi ukufinyelela nokusebenzisa ukuxhumana kwe-inthanethi kwemithi, ukuvakashelwa kwezempilo, ukufinyelela kokudla, kanye nokwesekwa emphakathini. Ngenxa yalokho, le nhlangano isebenza neNew York City Housing Authority ukuletha ukufinyelela kwi-broadband ne-intanethi njengezinsiza zomphakathi ezikhungweni zezindlu eziphezulu.

UHenning-Smith uphetha ngokusikhumbuza ukuthi ukuxhumana nabanye kuyisisekelo esiyisisekelo salokho okushiwo ukuba ngumuntu, nokuthi kunikeza injongo nenjongo empilweni futhi kudala amanethiwekhi ezinsizakalo abantu abaphendukela kuzo ngesikhathi sobunzima. Kodwa-ke, ukulimaza abanye abantu abasengozini enkulu, umphakathi ngokungaguquguquki ubeke phambili izindinganiso ezinjengokuzethemba nokuzimela ngokuxhuma nokuncika kwabanye. Ubhadane luqhakambisa isidingo soshintsho manje nasenkathini yangemva kobhadane.

Ngikholwa ukuthi lolo shintsho lusebenza ikakhulu kusikhungo sezempilo yengqondo, esigxile ekuphazamisweni komuntu ngamunye okutholwe ngokufanisa izimpawu ngazinye nezinhlu zezigaba eziningiliziwe nezihlukahlukene njengoba kuchazwe kwi-Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) yakamuva, ekhishwe yi-American Psychiatric Inhlangano.

Kuyo yonke iminyaka yami yokusebenza, angikhumbuli noma yiziphi izindlela zokuhlonza impilo yengqondo yomphakathi noma inhlalakahle yomndeni. Izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo zivakashela iziguli ezikhungweni zokunakekelwa zesikhathi eside zigunyazwe ukubhala umbiko wokuvakashelwa kweziguli ngakunye, zikhombise ukubonakaliswa kokuphazamiseka kwengqondo ngokuya ngemigomo ye-DSM nokuthi yelashwa kanjani, kwaba namiphi imiphumela ebonakalayo.

Sonke lesi sikhathi kungenzeka ukuthi isiguli besivele sidinga inkampani noma imvume yokudabukisa umlingani olahlekile noma abangane nomndeni abangahambanga. Izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo zibhekene neziguli esezikhulile ezinesizungu, hhayi ngoba bengekho abahlengikazi nontanga abaseduze kwabo kepha ngoba belahlekelwe injongo empilweni yabo.
