Kei te pāngia tō hoa aroha e te mate a Alzheimer? Kia mōhio ki ēnei mea i mua i te whakaaro ki te pokanga

Mena kei te pāngia tō whaea, tō pāpā, tō hoa tata rānei e te mate a Alzheimer, he mea noa te pōuri me te pōhēhē ina rongo koe me pokanga rātou mō tētahi atu raruraru hauora. "Ka taea e rātou te whakahaere i tēnei?", "Ka kino ake rānei te mahara o te mate whakangote?", "Me aha mēnā ka kore e marino i muri i te pokanga?" He maha pea ngā pātai pēnei kei roto i tō hinengaro. Me kōrero mārire tātou mō tēnei, takitahi.

He aha ngā mea me mōhio tātou i mua i te pokanga?

I mua i tō whakatau mō te pokanga, me mārama tātou ki ētahi mea. Mena ehara tēnei i te pokanga ohorere, he nui te wā hei whakatau. Kaua e whakatau ko koe anake i tēnei wā. Kōrero ki te toenga o tō whānau, me ētahi tākuta anō hoki.

Hei whakarāpopototanga, me mārama koe ki te take e mahia ai tēnei pokanga, he aha ngā painga, he aha ngā mōrearea, me ngā mea ka pā mai mēnā kāore koe e pokanga.

Ki te mea kei te mārama tonu tō hoa aroha ki ētahi mea, whakaurua rātou ki tēnei whakatau. He kaha nui hoki tēnei mō rātou.

Ngā pātai me pātai atu koe ki tō tākuta

Kaua e wareware ki te pātai i ēnei pātai ina tūtaki koe ki te tākuta e whakahaere ana i te pokanga. He tino āwhina te tuhi i ēnei hei rārangi.

I te wā o te wā whakarite i mua i te pokanga, kōrerotia ki te tākuta te hītori hauora katoa o tō hoa aroha, ngā mate pāwera, me ngā rongoā katoa (tae atu ki ngā huaora me ngā rongoā otaota) e tangohia ana e rātou, i te mea ka taea e ētahi rongoā te whakararuraru i te rongoā whakamoe.

Me ako tātou mō te rongoā whakamoe.

E toru ngā momo matua o te rongoā whakamoe. He mea nui kia mārama ki ēnei i roto i ngā kupu māmā noa iho.

I muri i te pokanga... tō tūranga

He mea tino nui kia noho koe ki reira ina kawea mai tō whanaunga ki te wāhanga i muri i te pokanga.

• Ina ara ake ia: Ina ara ake ia, me kōrero mārire koe ki a ia. Me kī atu ēnei kupu, "Kei te hōhipera koe, kua oti te pokanga, kei konei tonu ahau hei hoa mōu, kāore he mea hei manukanuka, ka tere tonu tō ora."
• Te whanaungatanga ki ngā nēhi: Hangaia he whanaungatanga pai ki ngā nēhi o te wāhanga. Kōrerotia ki a rātou ngā whanonga noa o tō hoa aroha me ngā huarahi hei whakamarie i a rātou (hei tauira, te waiata i tētahi waiata tawhito, te pupuri ringa). He āwhina nui tēnei ki a rātou ina ngaro koe i reira.
• Kia tūpato ki ngā panoni: Ki te kite koe i tētahi panoni rerekē o te āhua o ō rātou hinengaro, o te tinana rānei (hei tauira, he hiamoe ake i te tikanga, he pukuriri), me whakamōhio tonu atu ki ngā kaimahi.

Ngā take hei tūpato: Te pōrangi me te manukanuka

I muri i te pokanga, ka pāngia pea te hunga, inā koa te hunga kaumātua me te hunga e pāngia ana e te mate a Alzheimer, e te pōrangi, te pōrangi rānei mō te wā poto. Nā te rongoā whakamoe me te ahotea o te pokanga tēnei.

He aha tāu mahi i tēnei wā?

• Kia maumahara anō ki a koe anō: "Ko te rā nei...", "Kua tae ki te wā...", "Kei te hōhipera koe...", "Ko tō pokanga...", ā, kia maumahara mārire ki a koe anō.
• Whakararuraru: Tukua ia kia whakarongo ki tētahi waiata e pai ana ki a ia, kia titiro ki tētahi puka whakaahua whānau, kia tono rānei ki te tākuta kia homai ētahi o āna kai tino pai ki a ia.
• Kia tūpato ki te mamae: Tērā pea kāore ia e marino nā te mamae. He uaua ki ngā tūroro a Alzheimer te whakapuaki kei te mamae rātou. Nō reira, kia tūpato ki ngā tohu o te mamae (te menemene o te kanohi, te aue) ka kōrero ki te nēhi.
• Hīkoi kia tere rawa atu:Kia whakaaetia ia e te tākuta, he mea pai kia whakaarahia ia i te moenga ka hikoi haere. Mā tēnei ka ārai i ngā raruraru maha pērā i te mate pēhanga, te mate kōroke, me te pōrangi.

Me pēhea koe e tiaki ai i a koe anō i muri i tō taenga ki te kāinga?

I mua i te wehenga atu i te hōhipera, tonoa he rārangi tohutohu mārama mō te tiaki i a ia i te kāinga.

• Akohia ngā rongoā: Kimihia ko ēhea ngā rongoā hou kua tohua ki a koe me ō rātou pānga taha.
• Ngā tohu hei tūpato: Akohia ngā raruraru ka tūpono ki te kāinga me ngā tohu mōrearea me toro atu koe ki te tākuta tonu (hei tauira, te kirika nui, te pupuhi mai i te wāhi i pokangahia, te mamae nui).
• Tau waea ohorere: Pātai atu mō tētahi tau waea ka taea e koe te waea atu i ngā wā katoa mēnā he raruraru tāu.
• Wā whakarite i muri mai: Kaua e wareware ki te whakarite i tētahi wā whakarite me te tākuta.

He uaua tēnei haerenga. Engari mā te mōhiotanga tika, te manawanui, me te aroha, ka taea e koe te wikitoria i tēnei wero. Kia maumahara tonu kāore koe i te mokemoke.
