Ibikorwa bye bikomeye by’imirimo ifitiye igihugu akamaro biragoye kubara, ariko abaturage bacu bafite ubuzima bwiza n'umutekano kubera imbaraga zizewe kandi zidacogora. ”

Umwuga ukenewe: Abakozi bashinzwe ubuzima

Icyumweru cyo gukangurira abakozi bashinzwe ubuzima ku rwego rw’igihugu bizihiza urwego rwihariye

Imwe mu myuga ikura vuba mubuvuzi ntaho ihuriye nubuvuzi butaziguye. 

Bakoresheje ubumenyi bwabo bwa ensiklopedike yumutungo waho, abashinzwe ubuzima bwabaturage (CHWs) bafasha abantu kubona ibikenerwa byibanze bitandukanye, birimo amazu, fagitire zingirakamaro, ibiryo bifite intungamubiri, imyambaro, ubwishingizi, ubwikorezi buva no kubonana nabaganga, nibindi byinshi. 

Umuyobozi wa serivisi zishingiye ku barwayi akaba n'umugenzuzi w'abakozi bashinzwe ubuzima bw'abaturage mu kigo cya Wright gishinzwe ubuzima bw'abaturage, Amanda Vommaro yagize ati: "Abakozi bashinzwe ubuzima mu baturage, ni umusingi rwose." Ati: "Turemeza neza ko abarwayi babona ibyo bakeneye kugira ngo babashe gukemura ibibazo byabo."

Kurugero, umurwayi ufite ibibazo byamafaranga ashobora guhitamo hagati yo kugura ibiryo cyangwa imiti nkuko Vommaro abivuga. Kwihuza mububiko bwibiryo bishobora gufasha uwo murwayi kugura imiti irokora ubuzima umuganga yandikiwe. 

Yavuze ku barwayi ati: “Niba udafite ibyo ukeneye by'ibanze, ntushobora gukora ikindi kintu cyose.” Ati: “Iyo bataguze imiti no kwita ku buzima bwabo, niho tuza.”

Mu gihe isi yita ku buzima yizihiza icyumweru cy’ubukangurambaga ku bakozi bashinzwe ubuzima ku baturage kuva ku ya 28 Kanama kugeza ku ya 1 Nzeri, hakenewe ababana n’abana benshi kurusha mbere hose. Nk’uko ibiro bishinzwe ibarurishamibare muri Leta zunze ubumwe za Amerika bibitangaza, ngo abakozi b’ubuzima bw’abaturage muri Leta zunze ubumwe za Amerika biteganijwe ko baziyongera 12% hagati ya 2021 na 2031 - byihuta cyane ugereranyije n’indi mirimo.

Icyorezo cya COVID-19 cyagaragaje icyifuzo cya CHWs, nk'uko byatangajwe na Chelsea Wolff, umurezi w’ubuzima mu kigo cy’ubuzima cy’ubuzima cya Pennsylvania (AHEC) . Abantu babarirwa mu bihumbi babuze akazi basanga bagendera kuri gahunda ikunze kuba nyinshi kugira ngo basabe ubushomeri, kashe y'ibiribwa, ubukode ndetse n'ubutabazi bw'inguzanyo, n'izindi nkunga zitangwa n'inzego za Leta ndetse n'ibigo bishinzwe imibereho myiza y'abaturage. Gahunda yo gutabara y'Abanyamerika miliyoni 1.9 z'amadolari ya Amerika Joe Biden yasabye ko hakoreshwa 100.000 CHW mu myaka 10 guhera mu 2021 mu rwego rwo gushyigikira gukumira no kurwanya COVID-19.

Ariko ibigo byinshi bikoresha CHW bifite ikibazo cyo kuzuza akazi, harimo na Wright Centre yubuzima bwabaturage. Nibice kuberako abantu batamenyereye imyanya.

Wolff yemeye ati: "Abantu batangiye kubimenya, ariko dufite inzira ndende." 

AHEC yizeye gufasha mu kuzuza ibikenewe binyuze mu mahugurwa, amwe muri yo akorerwa hafi yabaturage. Wolff yavuze ko iki kigo cyatangiye gutanga amasomo ya CHW mu 2009. Kuva icyo gihe, icyifuzo cyiyongereye kuri aba bakozi badasanzwe. 

The course covers the basics of what a CHW needs to know, from building an understanding of different people and health literacy to learning how to complete documentation and how to avoid job burnout. 

CHWs iba mu baturage bakorera, bityo bahinduka abahanga mu kumenya ibikoresho bihari ndetse n’uburyo bwiza bwo guhuza abakiriya nabo, Vommaro na Wolff. Amasomo ya AHEC agaragaza abashyitsi benshi bavuga, abahugurwa rero bashobora gutangira kubaka urutonde rwibikoresho byaho bitanga ubufasha. 

Wolff yagize ati: "Bifasha guhuza utudomo no kubaka iyo mibonano." 

Vommaro yavuze ko abakiriya akenshi boroherwa no kuganira na CHW kubera imizi basangiye. Ati: "Ni urundi rwego rwo guhumurizwa iyo uganiriye n'umukozi ushinzwe ubuzima bw'abaturage kuko rimwe na rimwe twagiye duhura n'ibibazo barimo; turi abantu batuye aho batuye ”. Ati: “Ntabwo ari ubwoba buke kuruta kuvugana na muganga wabo.” 

Kubindi bisobanuro bijyanye n'amasomo, sura urubuga rwa AHEC. AHEC itanga kandi amakuru yamakuru ya buri kwezi yerekeye CHW buri wa kabiri wa kabiri wukwezi. Kugira ngo wige byinshi, kanda hano .
