Ofaayo ku nkola y’obwongo bwo n’enneeyisa yo? Ka twogere ku Neuropsychologist!

Oluusi tuba n’ebibuuzo, si bwe kiri? Naddala bwe twetegereza enkyukakyuka entonotono mu ngeri obwongo bwaffe gye bukolamu, mu kujjukira kwaffe, mu ndowooza yaffe, oba mu ngeri gye tweyisaamu, tusobola okuwulira nga tutidde katono. Mu biseera nga bino, omukugu asobola okutuyamba ayitibwa `Neuro Psychologist` . Leero, ka twogere ku ani ono `Neuropsychologist` y'ani, bye bakola, ne ddi lw'osaanidde okubalaba.

Ono `Omukugu mu by'obusimu` y'ani?

Mu ngeri ennyangu, Neuropsychologist ye mukugu mu by’obulamu alina okumanya okw’enjawulo ku ngeri okwonooneka kw’obwongo (nga endwadde z’obwongo oba obuvune) gye kuyinza okukosa enneeyisa yo n’obusobozi bwo obw’okutegeera (engeri gy’okozesaamu obwongo bwo).

Lowooza ku busobozi buno obw’okutegeera kye butegeeza. Ekyo kili:

• Omutendera gwo ogw'amagezi aga bulijjo .
• Okufaayo kwo n’okussa ebirowoozo byo (obusobozi bw’okussa essira ku kintu).
• Sipiidi amawulire gye gayingizibwamu obwongo (engeri gy’otegeera amangu ekintu ng’okirabye oba ng’okiwulira).
• Obukugu mu lulimi (okwogera, okuwuliriza, okuwandiika, okusoma n’ebirala).
• Obusobozi bw’okuyiga n’okujjukira (okuyiga ebintu ebipya, okujjukira ebintu eby’edda).
• Obusobozi okulowooza mu ngeri entegeerekeka n'okugonjoola ebizibu .
• Obusobozi bw’okulaba n’obw’ekifo (kwe kugamba, obusobozi bw’okutegeera n’okulaba ebintu ng’ebifo, enkula, n’amabanga).
• Omuudu yo n’obuntu bwo (embeera yo, engeri gye weeyisaamu n’abalala).

Bino byonna bikwatagana nnyo n’enkola y’obwongo bwaffe. Kale, bwe wabaawo enkyukakyuka yonna oba obutabeera bulungi mu bintu bino, `Neuropsychologist` asobola okuyamba okuzuula ekivaako n'okulaba ekiyinza okukolebwa ku nsonga eno.

Waliwo ebika bya `Neuropsychologists`?

Yee, okusinga waliwo ebika bibiri ebya `Neuropsychologists`:

1. Okunoonyereza ku `Neuropsychologists` (`Cognitive Neuropsychologists`): Okusinga bakola okunoonyereza okupya okwongera okutumbula ekitundu kya `Neuropsychology`. Batunuulira mu bujjuvu akakwate akaliwo wakati w’obwongo, engeri gye tulowoozaamu, n’enneeyisa yaffe. Okuyita mu kunoonyereza kwabwe kwe kuzuulibwa ebintu ebipya era n’enkola empya ez’okugezesa ne zikolebwa.

2. 2. .Clinical Neuropsychologists: Bano be bantu abakolagana butereevu n’abantu nga ggwe abeetaaga obuweereza, wamu n’abasawo abalala. Bakozesa ebigezo eby’enjawulo okwekenneenya engeri enkola yo ey’okutegeera (engeri obwongo bwo gye bukolamu) gy’eri. Olwo, bakolagana ne ttiimu yo ey’abasawo (abasawo abalala, abajjanjabi) okukuyamba okukola enteekateeka y’obujjanjabi ekusaanira. Abamu ku ba clinical neuropsychologists nabo batendekebwa naddala eri ebibinja by’emyaka ebimu, gamba ng’abaana.

Ekikulu, Neuropsychology kitundu kya Psychology, so si Neurology. Kwe kugamba, batendekebwa ng’abakugu mu by’empisa, nga balina obukugu mu nkolagana wakati w’obwongo n’enneeyisa.

Lwaki twetaaga okulaba omukugu mu by’obusimu (Neuropsychologist)?

Ebiseera ebisinga, omusawo w’amaka go ( Primary Care Physician ) oba omusawo w’obusimu ajja kukusindika ew’omusawo w’obusimu okukeberebwa obusimu .

Ensonga enkulu lwaki kino kiri bwekityo eri nti singa olaba, oba omusawo wo akiraba, enkyukakyuka oba obuzibu bwonna obupya mu nkola y’okutegeera kwo (nga okujjukira, okufaayo, olulimi, omuntu). Wayinza okubaawo ensonga nnyingi eziviirako enkyukakyuka zino. Okugeza nga:

• Embeera endala ez’obujjanjabi.
• Endwadde ezikwata ku nkola y’obusimu.
• Ebizibu by‟obulamu bw‟obwongo.
• Ebivaako obuzaale.

Abakugu mu by’obusimu bakola okukebera kuno okugenderera emirimu ku bantu ab’emyaka gyonna, okuva ku baana abawere, okutuuka ku baana abato, okutuuka ku bato abakulu, okutuuka ku bantu abakulu.

Zitera okuyamba mu kwekenneenya embeera nga zino:

• Okukonziba n’obuvune ku bwongo (TBI) - Kilowoozeeko ng’okukuba omutwe mu kabenje.
• Obulwadde bw'okusannyalala .
• Kookolo w'obwongo .
• Storoko .
• Obuzibu bw’obusimu – okugeza , obulwadde bwa Alzheimer .
• Obuzibu mu ntambula – Okugeza , obulwadde bwa Parkinson .

Naye ekintu kimu eky’okujjukira nti bwe tujjanjaba embeera nga zino, si mukugu omu yekka, wabula abantu bangi okukolera awamu nga ttiimu. `Neuropsychologist` naye mmemba mukulu mu ttiimu eyo.

Kiki ddala `Neuropsychologist` ky'akola?

Omukugu mu by’obusimu (clinical neuropsychologist) akola ebigezo by’obusimu.Okuddukanya emirimu. Kino kikuyamba ggwe ne ttiimu yo ey’abasawo okutegeera engeri ebitundu n’enkola ez’enjawulo ez’obwongo bwo gye bikolamu.

Mu bigezo bino, oweebwa emirimu egy’enjawulo gy’olina okukola. Ebigezo bino bipima obusobozi bwo obw’enjawulo obw’okutegeera. Ng’ekyokulabirako, oyinza okusabibwa okukwata olukalala lw’ebigambo mu mutwe n’oluvannyuma n’obiddiŋŋana, oba oyinza okusabibwa okutunuulira ekifaananyi n’oluvannyuma okukikuba.

Bakebera abantu abakoseddwa obwongo olw’akabenje (nga okusannyalala oba okusannyalala) wamu n’abantu abalina embeera z’obusimu eziwangaala ng’obulwadde bwa Parkinson n’obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Oluusi beenyigira mu kuyamba okuzuula obulwadde oba okulondoola enkulaakulana y’obulwadde obwazuulibwa edda.

Mu kiseera ky’okukeberebwa, Omusawo w’Eby’Obusimu mu bujjuvu ajja kukola bino wammanga:

• Amawulire agakwatagana gakuŋŋaanyizibwa: ebiwandiiko byo eby’obujjanjabi, embeera z’obulamu bw’obwongo ezaaliwo emabega, engeri obubonero gye bwatandika, n’ebyafaayo ebirala.
• Yogerako n’ab’omu maka go n’abo abakuli ku lusegere: Funa amawulire agakwata ku nkyukakyuka ze balabye mu nneeyisa yo ne mu ndowooza yo.
• Oweebwa ebigezo oba emirimu egy’enjawulo okugezesa obusobozi bwo obw’okutegeera: gino giyinza okuba ebibuuzo eby’omu kamwa, emirimu egy’okuwandiika, ebigezo bya kompyuta, emirimu egizingiramu ebintu nga bulooka oba bulooka, ne puzzle. Bino bitwala ekiseera okumaliriza, oboolyawo n’essaawa ntono.
• Lipoota enzijuvu ekolebwa: okunnyonnyola engeri ensonga ez’enjawulo ez’obusobozi bwo obw’okutegeera – gamba ng’okujjukira, okufaayo, n’olulimi – gye bikolamu. Lipoota eno eweebwa ggwe ne ttiimu yo ey’abasawo.
• Tujja kukunnyonnyola ebyava mu kukeberebwa: amaanyi go ge gali, obunafu bwo bwe buli, n’engeri gye buyinza okukosaamu obulamu bwo obwa bulijjo.

Abakugu mu by’obusimu bakolagana nnyo n’abakola ku by’obulamu abalala (abasawo, abajjanjabi) ng’ekitundu ku ttiimu y’okulabirira abantu bonna . Lipoota ze bakola ziwa abalala okutegeera okujjuvu ku bwongo bwo okwonooneka oba embeera y’obwongo bwo n’ebikosa. Kino kiyinza okuyamba ttiimu yo okusalawo ku bujjanjabi.

Njawulo ki eri wakati wa `Neuropsychologist`, `Psychologist`, ne `Neurologist`?

Amannya gano asatu gayinza okubuzaabuza katono, nedda? Ka tulabe enjawulo enkulu eri wakati w’ebintu bino ebisatu.

Enjawulo wakati wa `Neuropsychologist` ne `Psychologist`:

Enjawulo enkulu eri mu nkoona gye batunuulira enneeyisa y’abantu.

• `Omukugu mu by'empisa`:Balina okumanya okw’enjawulo ku ngeri ebikukwatako mu bulamu bwo n’embeera gy’obeera gye bikosaamu obulamu bwo obw’omutwe n’enneeyisa yo. Ziyamba ku bintu nga psychotherapy (talk therapy).
• Omukugu mu by’obusimu: Balina okumanya okw’enjawulo ku ngeri ensonga z’ebiramu n’ensonga z’obwongo gye bikosaamu enneeyisa yo n’emirimu emirala egy’okutegeera. Bakebera ebikosa bino nga bayita mu kukebera.

Enjawulo wakati wa `Neuropsychologist` ne `Neurologist`:

• Omusawo w’obusimu: Ono musawo alina diguli mu by’obusawo (`MD` - Doctor of Medicine oba `DO` - Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) . Zizuula, zijjanjaba, era ziddukanya endwadde z’obusimu – kwe kugamba, obwongo, omugongo, n’obusimu. Bakugu mu nsengeka, enkola y’obusimu, n’endwadde z’obusimu. Basobola okuwandiika eddagala n’okulongoosa.
• Omukugu mu by’obusimu: Essira balitadde ku ngeri ebizibu by’obwongo gye bikosaamu enneeyisa n’obusobozi bw’okutegeera. Ekisinga obukulu, omukugu mu by’obusimu si musawo. N’olwekyo, tebasobola kuwandiika ddagala ng’omusawo w’obusimu.

Mu ngeri ennyangu, nga `Neurologist` atunuulira ebizibu ku "hardware" y'obwongo (nga ebizimba, okuzibikira omusaayi okutambula), `Neuropsychologist` atunuulira ebiva mu bizibu ebyo "hardware" ku "software" (okulowooza, okujjukira, enneeyisa).

Oyinza otya okufuuka `Neuropsychologist`?

Okufuuka `Clinical Neuropsychologist`, ekitegeeza omuntu akola butereevu n'abalwadde, olina okumaliriza emitendera gino egy'okusomesa n'okutendeka:

• Olina okufuna diguli ya bbasale okuva mu yunivasite .
• Olwo olina okusoma diguli eyookubiri, ekitegeeza nti `Doctoral degree` . Kino kiyinza okuba `PhD` (Doctor of Philosophy) oba `PsyD` (Doctor of Psychology) mu by'empisa.
• Nga okola PhD yo, olina okumaliriza okutendekebwa okw’ekiseera kyonna okw’omwaka gumu , ebiseera ebisinga mu kisaawe kya Neuropsychology.
• Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, olina okumaliriza diguli y’obusawo ey’emyaka ebiri mu Neuropsychology. Kino kiringa okutendekebwa okw’ekikugu.
• Okugatta ku ekyo, olina okuyita ekigezo eky’omutendera gw’eggwanga n’ekigezo ekirala ekikwata ku ssaza/ensi gy’okolera .

Ne bwe baba bafuuse omukugu mu by’obusimu alina layisinsi, bakyalina okugenda mu pulogulaamu z’okusomesa abantu abagenda mu maaso (CED) buli mwaka okusobola okumanya ebipya ebigenda mu maaso mu mulimu gwabwe. Mu bino bisobola okuli enkuŋŋaana, okunoonyereza, n’emisomo.

Ekikulu: Abakugu mu by’obusimu (Neuropsychologists) tebagenda mu ssomero lya busawo ku mulimu guno. Diguli y’obusawo (MD oba DO) tekyetaagisa kufuuka musawo wa busimu alina layisinsi.

Bino byonna bwe biri, ebiseera ebisinga kitwala emyaka nga 10 ku 13 okufuuka omukugu mu by’obusimu alina layisinsi. Kisinziira ku mangu bw’omaliriza diguli zo eza bachelor’s ne doctorate.

Ekintu ky’olina okulowoozaako.

Okufuna enkyukakyuka mu ngeri obwongo bwo gye bukolamu, mu ndowooza yo, mu kujjukira kwo, oba mu nneeyisa yo, ddala kiyinza okukutiisa era ekikweraliikiriza. Kya bulijjo nnyo.

Naye jjukira nti omukugu mu by’obusimu (Neuropsychologist) asobola okukuyamba okutegeera enkyukakyuka zino n’engeri gye zikukwatamu. Bakugu mu mulimu gwabwe, era balina okumanya okusembyeyo ku nkolagana enzibu wakati w’obwongo bwo obw’omubiri n’ebirowoozo byo. Omusawo wo ow’obusimu ajja kukolagana naawe ne ttiimu yo ey’abasawo okukola enteekateeka y’obujjanjabi etuukana n’embeera yo era ajja kukuleetera ebirungi. N’olwekyo, bw’oba ​​olina ekikweraliikiriza, kikulu okwogera n’omusawo wo n’ofuna okusindikibwa okugenda ew’omusawo w’obusimu.
