Ukudangala kubantu abadala

Ukudangala yisimo sempilo yengqondo. Kuyisifo sokuphazamiseka kwemizwa lapho imizwa yokudabuka, ukulahlekelwa, intukuthelo, noma ukukhungatheka iphazamisa impilo yansuku zonke amasonto noma ngaphezulu.

Ukudangala kubantu abadala kuyinkinga esabalele, kepha akuyona ingxenye ejwayelekile yokuguga. Imvamisa ayaziwa noma ayelashwa.

Kubantu abadala asebekhulile, izinguquko zempilo zingakhuphula ubungozi bokucindezeleka noma zenze ukudangala okukhona kube kubi kakhulu. Ezinye zalezi zinguquko yilezi:

• Ukuhamba ekhaya, njengokuya esikhungweni somhlalaphansi
• Ukugula okungapheli noma ubuhlungu
• Izingane ziyahamba
• Umlingani noma abangane abaseduze bayadlula
• Ukulahlekelwa yinkululeko (ngokwesibonelo, izinkinga zokuhamba noma ukuzinakekela, noma ukulahlekelwa amalungelo okushayela)

Ukucindezeleka kungabuye kuhlobene nokugula ngokomzimba, njenge:

• Izinkinga ze-thyroid
• Isifo se-Parkinson
• Isifo senhliziyo
• Umdlavuza
• Unhlangothi
• Ukuwohloka komqondo (njengesifo i-Alzheimer)

Ukuphuza ngokweqile noma imithi ethile (njengezinsiza zokulala) kungenza ukudangala kube kubi kakhulu.

Izimpawu eziningi ezijwayelekile zokucindezeleka zingabonakala. Kodwa-ke, ukucindezeleka kubantu asebekhulile kungaba nzima ukukuthola. Izimpawu ezijwayelekile njengokukhathala, ukulahlekelwa isifiso sokudla, nenkinga yokulala kungaba yingxenye yenqubo yokuguga noma ukugula ngokomzimba. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukucindezeleka kwangaphambi kwesikhathi kunganakwa, noma kudidaniswe nezinye izimo ezivamile kubantu abadala asebekhulile.

Umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uzokwenza ukuhlolwa komzimba. Imibuzo izobuzwa ngomlando wezokwelapha nezimpawu.

Ukuhlolwa kwegazi nomchamo kungenziwa ukubheka ukugula komzimba.

Uchwepheshe wezempilo yengqondo kungadingeka ukuthi asize ekuxilongweni nasekwelashweni.

Izinyathelo zokuqala zokwelashwa yilezi:

• Phatha noma yikuphi ukugula okungadala izimpawu.
• Yeka ukuthatha noma yimiphi imithi engenza izimpawu zibe zimbi kakhulu.
• Gwema utshwala nezinsiza-kulala.

Uma lezi zinyathelo zingasizi, imithi yokwelapha ukudangala kanye nokwelashwa kokukhuluma kuvame ukusiza.

Odokotela bavame ukunikeza abantu asebekhulile imithamo ephansi ye-anti-depressants, futhi bandise umthamo kancane kancane kunabantu abadala abasebasha.

Ukuphatha kangcono ukucindezeleka ekhaya:

• Vocavoca umzimba njalo, uma umhlinzeki ethi KULUNGILE.
• Zizungeze ngabantu abakhathalelayo, abahle futhi wenze imisebenzi emnandi.
• Funda imikhuba emihle yokulala.
• Funda ukubheka izimpawu zokuqala zokudangala, futhi wazi ukuthi ungasabela kanjani uma zenzeka.
• Phuza utshwala obuncane futhi ungasebenzisi izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni.
• Khuluma ngemizwa yakho nomuntu omethembayo.
• Thatha imithi ngendlela efanele futhi uxoxe nganoma imiphi imiphumela engemihle nomhlinzeki.

Ukucindezeleka kuvame ukuphendula ekwelashweni. Umphumela uvame ukuba ngcono kubantu abakwazi ukuthola izinsizakalo zenhlalo, umndeni, nabangane abangabasiza ukuthi bahlale bekhuthele futhi bebandakanyekile.

Inkinga ekhathaza kakhulu ukucindezeleka ukuzibulala. Amadoda akha ukuzibulala kubantu abadala asebekhulile. Amadoda ahlukanisile noma abafelokazi asengozini enkulu kakhulu.

Imindeni kufanele inake kakhulu izihlobo ezindala ezicindezelekile futhi ezihlala zodwa.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho uma uqhubeka uzizwa udabukile, ungelutho, noma ungenathemba, noma uma uhlala ukhala njalo. Fonela futhi uma unenkinga yokubhekana nengcindezi empilweni yakho futhi ufuna ukuthunyelwa ekwelashweni kwezinkulumo.

Iya egumbini labezimo eziphuthumayo eliseduze noma ushayele inombolo yangakini yezimo eziphuthumayo (enjenge-911) uma ucabanga ngokuzibulala (ukuzibulala).

Uma unakekela ilungu lomndeni eligugile futhi ucabanga ukuthi bangaba nokudangala, xhumana nomhlinzeki wabo.
