Ukulinganisa umsantsa ohlala ukho ngokwesini kuphando lweMovement Disorders
Abafazi basamelwanga ngokwaneleyo kwizifundo zonyango, ingakumbi kwiindima zobunkokeli. Kwi-neurology, abafazi bamalunga nama-39% ababhali kodwa yi-29% kuphela yababhali abaphezulu - umahluko ochazwe kakuhle, kodwa ongahlolwanga ngokwaneleyo kwiingcali ezincinci ezifana neMovement Disorders.
Kule meko, i-Women in Movement Disorders SIG, kunye noogxa bakhe uGqr. Divyani Garg, uGqr. Manon Auffret, kunye noGqr. Zakiya Aldaajani, bafuna ukuqonda ngcono indlela iindlela zokubhala ngokwesini ezinokuthi zincede ngayo amanyathelo exesha elizayo okuphucula ubulungisa, uqeqesho, kunye nenkqubela phambili yobunkokeli kwicandelo leengxaki zentshukumo. Olu phononongo luye lwagxininiswa kwihlabathi liphela ngentetho kwintlanganiso ye-American Academy of Neurology eChicago, kunye nokugubungela kwi I-Neurology Namhlanje ibonisa ingqwalasela ekhulayo kwihlabathi liphela kubulungisa kuphando lwe-neurology.
Senze uhlalutyo olupheleleyo lweempapasho zeMovement Disorders ezivela kwiijenali ze-neurology ezingama-20 ezinefuthe elikhulu, kunye neMovement Disorders kunye neMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, sithelekisa idatha evela ngo-2014 nango-2024. Xa iyonke, amanqaku ali-1,666 anababhali abali-14,953 ahlalutywe.
Iziphumo zethu zibonisa ukuba inkqubela phambili ekumelweni ngokwesini kuphando lweMovement Disorders iyinyani, kodwa icotha, ayilingani, kwaye ayanelanga.
Abafazi ngoku bamele malunga nama-41% abo bonke ababhali kwaye bafikelele kwinqanaba elifanayo kwizikhundla zokubhala zokuqala nezesibini (42%). Sekunjalo eli nqanaba aliguquleli kubunkokeli, apho abafazi bamele kuphela ama-25% ababhali abaphezulu ngo-2024. Nangona kubekho uphuculo oluthile ngokuhamba kwexesha, umsantsa usabonakala, ngakumbi kwiijenali ezinefuthe elikhulu, apho ababhali abaphezulu abangabasetyhini badla ngokuwa ngaphantsi kwama-30%. Le ndlela ikhomba "kwindlela evuzayo" eqhubekayo, kodwa ngokuchanekileyo, ukusilela kokuqhubela phambili. Abafazi bangena kwaye banegalelo kweli candelo ngamanani amakhulu, kodwa abaqhubeki ngokulinganayo kwiindima eziphezulu, zokwenza izigqibo. Ukuwa phakathi kombhali wokuqala nowokugqibela kusengumngeni obalulekileyo kwaye ongajongwanga ngokwaneleyo.
Ukuqinisa uqeqesho kubalulekile, kodwa ukuxhaswa okusebenzayo ziingcali zemfundo eziphezulu, ukuqinisekisa ukuba abafazi banyuselwa kwizikhundla eziphezulu kunye nombhali ohambelanayo kunokunceda ukuvala lo msantsa. Amanqanaba aphakathi emsebenzini, apho ukuphelelwa ngumsebenzi kubonakala kukhulu, amele ithuba elibalulekileyo lokwenza into.
Iijenali kunye namaziko emfundo nawo adlala indima ebalulekileyo ekubumbeni iindawo ezinobulungisa ngakumbi. Kuhlalutyo lwethu, ziijenali ezi-5 kuphela kwezili-16 (30%) ezazinomfazi njengoMhleli oyiNtloko. Ukukhuthaza ukwahlukana kwiibhodi zokuhlela, ukuqinisekisa iinkqubo zokujonga oontanga ezifanelekileyo nezicacileyo, kunye nokuphucula ukucaca kwedatha yokubhala ngamanyathelo abalulekileyo kwindlela ebandakanya wonke umntu.
Kwangaxeshanye, ukungalingani ekufikeleleni kumathuba ophando anefuthe elikhulu kufuneka kujongwane nawo. Nangona sibone ukwanda okuncinci kwababhali abaphezulu abangabasetyhini (25% ngo-2014 ukuya kuma-29% ngo-2024) ngokuhamba kwexesha, abafazi basamelwe ngokwaneleyo kwiziphumo ezinefuthe eliphezulu ezifana novavanyo lweklinikhi kunye nophando lokuqala, nto leyo ethintela iindlela zokwamkelwa kwezemfundo. Amanqaku amenyiweyo, afana nohlelo lokubhala nophononongo, ahlala elawulwa ngamadoda. Abafazi babe yi-18% kuphela yababhali abaphezulu kwiincwadi zokubhala ngo-2024 (19% ngo-2014), kwaye ukumelwa kumanqaku ophononongo kuye kwehla kwiminyaka elishumi edlulileyo, ukusuka kwi-30% ngo-2014 ukuya kwi-24% ngo-2024.
Nangona kuqinisekiswa ukufikelela ngokulinganayo kwinkxaso-mali, iindima zophando oluphambili, kunye nobunkokeli kwizifundo ezinamaziko amaninzi ngamanyathelo abalulekileyo akhokelela kutshintsho olunentsingiselo, inkqubela phambili yomsebenzi yabasetyhini isenokuhlala izaliswe yimingeni ngaphandle kokuba iindlela zomsebenzi wezemfundo zibonelela ngokuguquguquka kwezinto ezifana nosapho kunye noxanduva lokunyamekela.
Amanyathelo anje ngenkqubo ye-MDS LEAP okanye imizamo ekhokelwa yiQela leNzala eKhethekileyo le-Women in Movement Disorders anokunceda ekuqhubeni utshintsho. Ngokukhuthaza amanethiwekhi, ukukhuthaza ubulungisa, kunye nokukhuthaza amathuba obunkokeli, la manyathelo anokunceda ekubumbeni kwakhona imeko-bume yezemfundo.
Lilonke, nangona inkqubela ibonakala, ayilingani. Ukuya phambili, ingqwalasela kufuneka itshintshele ekusebenziseni amaqhinga asebenzayo axhasa inkqubela phambili ukusuka kulowo unegalelo ukuya ekubeni yinkokeli. Ithuba ngoku asikokubona nje kuphela umsantsa, kodwa kukuvala loo msantsa.
