Izikhungo zabahlengikazi abanamakhono ngemuva kokufakwa ngokuhlanganyela

Iningi labantu linethemba lokugoduka liye ngqo esibhedlela ngemuva kokuhlinzwa ukuze lithathe indawo yejoyinti. Noma ngabe wena nodokotela wakho nihlelele ukuthi nibuyele ekhaya ngemuva kokuhlinzwa, ukululama kwakho kungahle kuhamba kancane kunokulindelekile. Ngenxa yalokhu, kungadingeka ukuthi udluliselwe esikhungweni sabahlengikazi abanamakhono.

Kufanele ukhulume ngalolu daba nabahlinzeki bakho bezokunakekelwa kwempilo emasontweni angaphambi kokufaka esikhundleni sakho ngokuhlanganyela. Bangakweluleka ngokuthi ukuya ngqo ekhaya kukulungele yini.

Ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa, kubalulekile ukunquma ngesikhungo ongathanda ukuya kuso ngemuva kokuphuma esibhedlela. Ufuna ukukhetha indawo enikeza ukunakekelwa kwekhwalithi futhi isendaweni esebenza kangcono kuwe.

Qiniseka ukuthi isibhedlela siyazi ngezindawo ozikhethile nohlelo lwezinto ozikhethile. Thola izinketho zesibili nezesithathu ongakhetha kuzo. Uma ungekho umbhede otholakala endaweni oyikhethayo yokuqala, isibhedlela sisadinga ukukudlulisela kwesinye isikhungo esifanelekayo.

Ngaphambi kokuthi uye ekhaya ngemuva kokuhlinzwa, kufanele ukwazi:

• Zungeze ngokuphepha usebenzisa induku, i-walker, noma izinduku.
• Ngena uphume esihlalweni nasombhedeni ngaphandle kokudinga usizo oluningi.
• Zulazula ngokwanele ukuze ukwazi ukuhamba ngokuphepha ekhaya lakho, njengalapho ulala khona, indlu yakho yokugezela kanye nekhishi lakho.
• Yehla uyehla izitebhisi, uma ingekho enye indlela yokuzigwema.

Ezinye izinto zingakuvimbela nokuthi uye ekhaya ngqo ekhaya.

• Ukuhlinzwa kwakho kungaba nzima kakhulu.
• Awunalo usizo olwanele ekhaya.
• Ngenxa yalapho uhlala khona, udinga ukuthi uqine noma uhambise kakhulu ngaphambi kokuya ekhaya.
• Kwesinye isikhathi ukutheleleka, izinkinga ngesilonda sakho sokuhlinzwa, noma ezinye izindaba zezokwelapha kuzokuvimbela ukuthi uye ekhaya ngqo.
• Ezinye izinkinga zezokwelapha, ezinjengesifo sikashukela, izinkinga zamaphaphu, nezenhliziyo, zikubambezele ukululama kwakho.

Esikhungweni, udokotela uzobheka ukunakekelwa kwakho. Abanye abahlinzeki abaqeqeshiwe bazokusiza ukuthi ukhule uqine, kufaka phakathi:

• Abahlengikazi ababhalisiwe bazonakekela isilonda sakho, bakunikeze imithi efanele, futhi bakusize ngezinye izinkinga zezokwelapha.
• Abahlinzeki bomzimba bazokufundisa ukuthi ungayiqinisa kanjani imisipha yakho. Zizokusiza ufunde ukuvuka uhlale phansi ngokuphepha esihlalweni, endlini yangasese noma embhedeni. Zizokufundisa nokuthi ungakhuphuka kanjani izitebhisi, ugcine ibhalansi yakho, futhi usebenzise i-walker, umoba noma izinduku.
• Ochwepheshe basemsebenzini bazokufundisa amakhono owadingayo ukwenza imisebenzi yansuku zonke njengokufaka amasokisi akho noma ukugqoka.

Vakashela izindawo ezi-2 noma ezi-3. Khetha izindawo ezingaphezu kwesisodwa lapho uzonethezeka khona. Lapho uvakashele, buza abasebenzi imibuzo efana nale:

• Ngabe banakekela abantu abaningi asebethathe indawo ngokuhlanganyela? Bangakutshela ukuthi bangaki? Isikhungo esihle kufanele sikwazi ukukubonisa idatha ekhombisa ukuthi inikeza ukunakekelwa kwekhwalithi.
• Ingabe banabo abelapha ngokomzimba abasebenza lapho? Qiniseka ukuthi abelaphi banolwazi lokusiza abantu ngemuva kokufakwa esikhundleni ngokuhlanganyela.
• Ngabe abelaphi abayi-1 noma aba-2 bazokuphatha izinsuku eziningi?
• Ngabe banohlelo (olubizwa nangokuthi indlela, noma inqubo) yokunakekela iziguli ngemuva kokufakwa esikhundleni ngokuhlanganyela?
• Ngabe banikeza ukwelashwa nsuku zonke zesonto, kufaka phakathi uMgqibelo neSonto? Zithatha isikhathi esingakanani ukwelashwa?
• Uma udokotela wakho wokunakekela oyinhloko noma udokotela ohlinzayo wamathambo engahambeli esikhungweni, ngabe kuzoba nodokotela ophethe ukunakekelwa kwakho? Uhlola kangaki lowo dokotela neziguli?
• Isikhungo esihle sizothatha isikhathi ukufundisa wena nomndeni wakho noma abanakekeli ngokunakekelwa okuzodingeka ekhaya lakho ngemuva kokuphuma esikhungweni. Buza ukuthi balunikeza kanjani futhi nini lolu qeqesho.
