Ubani uchwepheshe we-radiation? Ake sixoxe ngalokhu ngokuningiliziwe!

Wake wezwa nge-'(Radiation Therapy)' noma i-radiation therapy? Mhlawumbe othile emndenini wakho uthole lokhu kwelashwa kwesifo esibi njenge-'(Cancer)'. Noma mhlawumbe unesifiso somsebenzi kulo mkhakha wezokwelapha. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngelungu elibaluleke kakhulu nelibalulekile laleli qembu le-radiation therapy. Lowo ngu-radiation therapist, noma '(Radiation Therapist)'. Kalula nje, laba ngabantu abasebenzisa imishini ye-radiation esetshenziselwa ukwelapha umdlavuza nezinye izifo futhi basize ekuhlinzekeni lokho kwelashwa ezigulini.

Ungubani lo chwepheshe wezokwelapha ngemisebe? ('Uyini uchwepheshe wezokwelapha ngemisebe?')

Kalula nje, i-radiation therapist inguchwepheshe wezempilo osebenza emkhakheni we-radiation oncology. Bangamalungu amaqembu aholwa odokotela be-radiation oncologists. La maqembu ahlinzeka ngokwelashwa ngemisebe yomdlavuza nezinye izifo ezingathi sína. Cabanga ngale ndlela: njengoba nje udokotela enikeza umuthi, i-radiation oncologist ihlela ukwelashwa ngemisebe. Kodwa-ke, yilaba belaphi be-radiation abenza lolo hlelo, banikeze isiguli ukwelashwa, futhi banakekele isiguli phakathi naleso sikhathi.

Yini ngempela eyenziwa yi-radiation therapist?

Indima yomelaphi wemisebe ibanzi kakhulu. Basiza abantu abathola ukwelashwa ngemisebe ukuthi baqonde inqubo futhi babenze bakhululeke ngangokunokwenzeka ngesikhathi sokwelashwa kwabo. Ake sibheke imisebenzi yabo eyinhloko:

• Ukusiza ngokuhlela ukwelashwa: Cabanga ngakho, uma unikeza imisebe ukubulala amangqamuzana omdlavuza, ufuna ukuletha inani elifanele lemisebe endaweni efanele, akunjalo? Uma iya endaweni engafanele, ingalimaza amangqamuzana anempilo. Omunye wemisebenzi eyinhloko yomelaphi wemisebe ukusiza ngalokhu kuhlela ukwelashwa. Okusho ukuthi, basebenzisana nochwepheshe ukuze banqume indawo eqondile emzimbeni wesiguli ukuze banikeze imisebe, umthamo wemisebe, kanye ne-engeli lapho imisebe kufanele ithunyelwe khona. Lokhu kubizwa nangokuthi `(Simulation)`. Kufana nokubuka imephu bese uthola indlela eqondile eya kuhlosiwe.

• Ukuvikela iziguli emisebeni engadingekile: Nakuba imisebe inenzuzo, ingaba yingozi futhi uma isetshenziswa ngendlela engafanele. Ngakho-ke, umelaphi wemisebe uyaqinisekisa ukuthi isiguli sithola imisebe ezindaweni ezifanele kuphela nokuthi ezinye izingxenye ezinempilo zivikelwe ngangokunokwenzeka. Basebenzisa izihlangu namasu akhethekile ukwenza kanjalo.

• Ukusebenzisa imishini yokwelapha ngemisebe: Lona omunye wemisebenzi yabo eyinhloko. Yibo abasebenzisa imishini emikhulu, eyinkimbinkimbi (njenge-'Linear Accelerators') ukuletha imisebe esigulini njengoba kuhleliwe.Kungumthwalo wabo ukusebenzisa leyo mishini ngendlela efanele nokunakekela ukunakekelwa kwayo.

• Ukuqapha inhlalakahle yalabo abathola ukwelashwa: Hhayi nje kuphela ngesikhathi sokwelashwa, kodwa phakathi nesikhathi sokwelashwa, umelaphi wemisebe uqapha njalo isimo sesiguli, noma yikuphi ukungakhululeki esingase sikuzwe, kanye nanoma yimiphi imiphumela emibi . Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abanye abantu bangase babe nokungakhululeki okuhlukahlukene ngenxa yokwelashwa ngemisebe.

• Isaziso esisheshayo sempendulo engavamile ekwelashweni: Uma isiguli siqala ukusabela ngendlela engavamile ekwelashweni, isibonelo, ukusabela okukhulu kokungezwani komzimba, umelaphi wemisebe wazisa ngokushesha udokotela wezifo zomdlavuza noma amanye amalungu eqembu. Lokhu kuvumela ukuthi kuthathwe isinyathelo ngokushesha.

• Ukugcina amarekhodi anemininingwane yokwelashwa: Kungumsebenzi wabo ukugcina irekhodi lakho konke mayelana nokwelashwa okunikezwa isiguli ngasinye, okuhlanganisa umthamo wemisebe, inani lezikhathi zokwelashwa, kanye nezimpendulo zesiguli. La marekhodi abaluleke kakhulu ekwelashweni kwesikhathi esizayo kanye nasezindabeni zomthetho.

Cabanga ngalokhu: umelaphi wemisebe ufana nomshayeli wendiza onekhono. Unesibopho sokuyisa indiza (umshini wemisebe) ngokuphephile nangokuqondile lapho iya khona (amangqamuzana omdlavuza), nokuqinisekisa ukuthi abagibeli (iziguli) abaphazamiseki endleleni.

Basebenza kuphi abelaphi bemisebe? ('Basebenza kuphi abelaphi bemisebe?')

Ngokuvamile, abelaphi bemisebe basebenza emayunithi okwelapha ngemisebe ezibhedlela. Ngokusho kwe-US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), iningi labo lisebenza ezibhedlela. Kodwa-ke, bangatholakala besebenza nasezikhungweni ezixhumene namahhovisi odokotela abazimele noma ezikhungweni zokwelapha ngaphandle kweziguli. ESri Lanka, le minyango yokwelapha ngemisebe itholakala nasezibhedlela ezinkulu zikahulumeni nakwezinye izibhedlela ezizimele.

Uba kanjani uchwepheshe wezokwelapha ngemisebe?

Manje ungase ucabange, 'Kulungile, lokhu kuzwakala njengomsebenzi omuhle, ngingaba kanjani `(Uchwepheshe Wezokwelapha Ngemisebe)'? Lokhu kudinga iziqu zemfundo nokuqeqeshwa. Nazi ezinye zezinyathelo ezivame ukulandelwa:

• Ukuthola iziqu ezifanele: Okokuqala, kuzodingeka uqedele iziqu ze-"Associate" , okuvame ukuba yiziqu ze-bachelor zeminyaka emibili, kanye nokuqeqeshwa okudingekayo kwezokwelapha nethimba lodokotela be-radiation oncologists. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ungathola iziqu zeminyaka emine kwezokwelapha ngemisebe, okuyiziqu ze-"Bachelor" . Lezi zinhlelo zeziqu zifundisa izifundo ezifana ne-radiation physics, i-anatomy, kanye nokunakekelwa kweziguli.

• Ukuqedela uhlelo lokuqinisekisa: Ngemva kokuphothula,Udinga ukuqedela uhlelo lokuqinisekisa olunikezwa yinhlangano yochwepheshe eyaziwayo. Isibonelo, e-United States, i-American Registry of Radiation Technologists (ARRT) ikhipha izitifiketi ezinjalo. Kukhona nezinhlelo zokuqeqesha neziqinisekiso eziqashelwayo ezihlobene nalo mkhakha eSri Lanka. Lokhu kuzoqinisekisa ulwazi namakhono akho.

• Ukuthola Ilayisensi Kahulumeni: Kwamanye amazwe, kufanele uthole ilayisensi kahulumeni ukuze usebenze njengochwepheshe obhalisiwe. Lokhu kungase kuhilele nezivivinyo.

Kuthatha iminyaka emingaki ukuba ngumelaphi wemisebe?

Kuya ngempela ngohlelo lweziqu olukhethayo (iminyaka emibili noma emine) kanye nesikhathi osidingayo sokulungiselela nokuphasa ukuhlolwa kwelayisensi esikhungweni esifana ne-ARRT. Ngisho noma ukuhlolwa kwelayisensi kuqedwa ngosuku, kungathatha amasonto, mhlawumbe izinyanga, ukululungiselela. Kunemithetho evame ukuthi kufanele ubhale lokhu kuhlolwa kungakapheli iminyaka emithathu uthweswe iziqu. Ngakho-ke, ungacabanga ukuthi kungathatha iminyaka ephakathi kwemi-3-5 .

Ubani udokotela wezifo zomdlavuza wemisebe? Uhluke kanjani kudokotela wezifo zomdlavuza?

Ngezinye izikhathi abantu badidanisa "udokotela womdlavuza wemisebe" no "uchwepheshe wemisebe." Nakuba bobabili beseqenjini lokwelashwa ngemisebe, imisebenzi yabo kanye nezizinda zabo zemfundo zihlukile kakhulu.

Cabanga ngakho njengokaputeni womkhumbi. Ungudokotela oyinhloko oqondisa futhi enze izinqumo ngazo zonke izici zokwelapha ngemisebe. Unquma ukuthi isiguli somdlavuza siyayidinga yini ukwelashwa ngemisebe, ukuthi hlobo luni lokwelashwa okufanele lunikezwe, ukuthi kufanele lunikezwe isikhathi esingakanani, nokuthi kufanele lunikezwe ngemisebe engakanani. Unesibopho sokuphatha imiphumela nemiphumela emibi yokwelashwa.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, `(Uchwepheshe Wezokwelapha Ngemisebe)` ufana nochwepheshe onekhono noma uchwepheshe osebenza ngaphansi kwalowo kaputeni futhi ophatha ukwelashwa. Basebenzisa imishini futhi banikeze isiguli ukwelashwa ngokuphephile nangokunembile, ngokwecebo elinikezwe udokotela ochwepheshe.

Ngokuphathelene nemfundo, ukuze ube yi-Radiation Oncologist, udinga ukuba neziqu zobudokotela (njenge-MBBS), bese kuba yi-internship yonyaka owodwa ekuhlinzeni noma kwezokwelapha kwangaphakathi, bese kuba yi-residency yeminyaka emine kwi-radiation oncology noma kwi-radiation oncology. Lolo uhambo olude kakhulu lwemfundo, oluthatha cishe iminyaka eyi-10-12. Isikhathi semfundo sochwepheshe we-radiation therapist sifushane kakhulu.

Ingabe abelaphi bemisebe basebenzisa izinaliti emsebenzini wabo?

Yebo, bangase basebenzise izinaliti. Kodwa hhayi ngezinto ezifana nokufaka umuthi wokujova. Lapho abelaphi bemisebe belungiselela umuntu ukwelashwa,Ngezinye izikhathi, kusetshenziswa izinaliti ezincane kakhulu ukwenza ama-tattoo amancane ukuphawula indawo okufanele iphathwe. Lawa ma-tattoo mancane kakhulu, njengechashazi. Lawa asetshenziselwa ukubeka isiguli ngendlela efanayo njalo lapho kunikezwa ukwelashwa. Lokhu kuvumela ukuthi imisebe iqondiswe endaweni efanayo njalo.

Yiziphi izingxenye ezinzima kakhulu, noma izinselele, zomsebenzi wochwepheshe bezokwelapha ngemisebe?

Lo msebenzi unganelisa ngempela, ngoba usiza izimpilo zabantu, ubasiza ekuhluphekeni kwabo. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, awudingi izinselele zawo.

• Kudingeka ukunaka imininingwane njalo: Ukwelashwa ngemisebe kuyinqubo enembile kakhulu. Kusukela esigabeni sokuhlela ('Ukulingisa') kuze kube sekupheleni kokwelashwa, kudinga ukunaka okukhulu kakhulu. Ngisho nephutha elincane lingaba nomthelela omkhulu ekwelashweni komdlavuza kwesiguli. Kufanele usebenze njengewashi. Kufanele ucabange kabili ngayo yonke imininingwane, inombolo ngayinye.

• Umthwalo wemfanelo wokugcina nokusebenzisa imishini: Kungumthwalo wemfanelo walaba bantu ukugcina imishini ekhipha imisebe nokuqinisekisa ukuthi isebenza kahle. Lawa amadivayisi ayinkimbinkimbi kakhulu futhi abizayo. Ukuphepha kwawo kanye nokulinganiswa kwawo kumele kunakekelwe njalo.

• Isimo sengqondo seziguli: Iziguli eziningi eziza ukuzokwelashwa ngemisebe zikhathazekile kakhulu, ziyesaba, futhi zididekile ngoba zinomdlavuza noma esinye isifo esibi. Zingase zesabe nokubhekana nokwelashwa. Cabanga ukuthi uzizwa wesaba futhi udabuke kangakanani lapho uthola ukuthi othile oseduze nawe, mhlawumbe umama noma ubaba, unomdlavuza. Ngakho-ke, ukuphatha lezi ziguli ngozwela nangomusa, ukukhuluma nazo ngokuqonda, nokulalela izinkinga zazo kuyingxenye enkulu yomsebenzi wochwepheshe bezokwelapha ngemisebe. Ukubanikeza induduzo yengqondo nakho kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi kufanele ukhulume nemindeni yeziguli futhi uzifundise.

Abelaphi bemisebe ngabantu okumele babe namakhono obuchwepheshe kanye nezimfanelo zobuntu.

Okokugcina, into ebaluleke kakhulu (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Ngakho-ke, manje usuyazi ukuthi ubani `(uMphilisi Wemisebe)`, benzani, nokuthi umsebenzi wabo unesibopho kangakanani. Abelaphi bemisebe bafana namaqhawe angaziwa okunakekelwa kwezempilo, besiza abantu ukulwa nezifo ezingathi sína njengomdlavuza. Umsebenzi wabo udinga ukunakwa okuningi, ulwazi lobuchwepheshe, umthwalo wemfanelo, kanye nesihawu esikhulu, umusa, kanye nozwela ngeziguli.

Yibo abasiza ekwenzeni ulwazi olwesabekayo ngezinye izikhathi lokwelashwa ngemisebe lube lula futhi lubekezeleleke ngangokunokwenzeka ezigulini. Uma ucabanga ngomsebenzi kulo mkhakha, kungaba umsebenzi ozuzisayo nowanelisayo. Futhi, uma wena noma othile omaziyo ethola ukwelashwa ngemisebe, khumbula ukuthi kukhona abelaphi bemisebe abanekhono nabanesihawu abalapha ukuzokusiza nokukunakekela.
