Tauhi ʻa e Nifo mo e Ngutu ki ha Tokotaha ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e Dementia

Ko e tauhi-ngutu ko e meʻa ʻo e tokotaha pe. ʻOku lava ke ngalo ʻe he tokotaha ʻa e founga ʻoku ʻiloa, ʻe lava ke faingataʻa ke ngāue ʻaki ha ʻakau-nifo, pe ʻe lava ke haʻisia ʻa e tokotaha kapau ʻoku fakaʻofa ʻe ha tokotaha kehe ha tokoni. Tauhi ʻa e founga melino mo fakaʻapaʻapa. ʻOku totonu ke fai ʻe he tokotaha ʻa e meʻa lahi taha ʻe lavá mo e meʻa ʻoku ne loto ki ai.

ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻe he tohi ʻa e Alzheimer’s Association ki he tauhi-nifo mo e fakatotonu ʻa Dementia Australia ki he tauhi-nifo ke fai ʻaki ha founga ʻoku ʻiloa, ngaahi lea nounou, mo e tokoni mei he tokotaha nifo ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻi ai ha palopalema.

Ko e hā ʻa e founga ke tauhi ai ʻa e tauhi-ngutu ʻi he ʻaho ʻaho ʻoku ʻiloa?

Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e taimi mo e feituʻu ʻoku ʻiloa ʻe he tokotaha kapau ʻoku ngāue ia. Teuteu ʻa e fufulu-nifo, paʻanga-nifo mo e tauʻi ki he feituʻu ʻoku ʻamanaki ai ʻe he tokotaha. Fakahā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ke fai kimuʻa pe ʻoku kamata, pea foaki ʻa e lea ʻe taha ʻi he taimi. Ko e “Toʻo ʻa e fufulu-nifo” ʻoku faingofua ange ke muimui ʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi fakatotonu lahi.

Foaki ʻa e taimi ki he tokotaha ke fai ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻaho. Kapau ʻe lava ke fufulu ʻaʻane, tuku ke ne fai. Kapau ʻoku lava ʻa e fakamanatu, tali ki mu’a ʻi he tokoni fakaʻaho. ʻE fiema’u ʻe he niʻihi ke nofo ʻi he sinki pe ngāue ʻaki ha fufulu ʻoku faingofua ke ne puke. Fehuʻi ki he tokotaha nifo kapau ʻoku faingataʻa ʻa e fufulu ʻoku ʻaʻaʻa.

ʻOua ʻe liliu ʻa e fufulu-nifo ko e fakalelei pe ko e tauʻi. Kapau ʻoku ʻuʻuʻu pe ʻalu ʻi he tokotaha pe ʻoku haʻisia, tuku ʻo mahuʻinga. Feinga toe ʻi ha taimi kehe, liliu ʻa e feituʻu pe fehuʻi ki he tokotaha nifo. ʻOua ʻe fakamālohi ke ʻai ʻa e fufulu ki he ngutu, pe puke ʻa e tokotaha ke fakaʻosi ʻa e ngāue.

Kapau ʻoku faingataʻa ha founga kuo ngāue lelei muʻa, sivi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku faingataʻa. ʻE lava ke ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tokotaha pe ʻe fēfē ʻa e fufulu, ʻikai loto ki ha tuʻunga-nifo foʻou, ʻoku malolo, pe ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e mamahi ʻi he ngutu. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha fakamaau ʻeni, ka ko e ngaahi faingamālie. Ko ha tohi nounou ʻo e taimi ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e faingataʻa ʻe lava ke tokoni ki he tokotaha nifo ke talanoa ki he ngaahi sitepu hoko hake. Liliu ʻa e konga ʻe taha ʻi he taimi tatau ke ʻiloa ʻa e meʻa ʻoku loto ki ai ʻa e tokotaha.

Ko e hā ʻa e founga ke tokoni ai ʻo tauhi ʻa e malu ʻo e tokotaha?

Fehuʻi muʻa ki he tokoni, neongo kuo tokoni ki mu’a. Fakahā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ke palani ke fai, pea fakatali ki he tali ʻa e tokotaha. Kapau ʻoku talia ia, tāpuni ʻa e matapā, fakaʻaongaʻi ha tauʻi ke malu ʻa e kofu, pea fakahā pē ʻa e konga ʻoku fiema’u. Fakafepaki ʻa e kau tokoni ʻoku fiemālie ai ʻa e tokotaha.

Kapau ʻoku fiema’u ʻa e tokoni ʻaki ʻa e nima, fakahā ʻa e sitepu kotoa muʻa ʻi he fai, pea malolo kapau ʻoku fakahā ʻe he tokotaha ʻa e mamahi. ʻE lava ke fakahāhā ʻe he tokotaha nifo ʻa e founga malu ʻo e tauhi ʻi he ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻo e tokotaha. ʻOua ʻe fai ʻa e tataki ʻaki ʻa e nima pe ngāue ʻaki ha founga ʻoku ʻikai ke ke ʻosi ako ki ai mei ha tokotaha poto.

Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke u ʻilo ki he nifo-fakatupu?

Tauhi ʻa e nifo-fakatupu ʻi he feituʻu ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ʻiloa pea ʻoku mahino ʻa e tuʻunga. Fehuʻi ki he tokotaha nifo pe ʻe fēfē ʻa e fufulu mo e tauhi, pea pe totonu ke sivi ʻa e fe’unga kapau ʻoku ʻikai fiemālie ʻa e tokotaha. Kapau ʻoku ngāue ʻa e nifo-fakatupu ʻi ha feituʻu tokanga, tohi ʻa e ʻeke-tauhi ke ʻiloa ʻe he kau ngāue.

ʻOua ʻe fakamālohi ke ʻave ʻa e nifo-fakatupu ki he ngutu ʻo e tokotaha kapau ʻoku ne ʻuʻuʻu pe ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e mamahi. Ko e nifo-fakatupu ʻoku ʻikai fe’unga pe ʻoku faingataʻa ʻe lava ke faingataʻa ke kai; fehuʻi ki he tokotaha nifo pe ko e hā ʻa e fai. Ko e tohi ʻo e taimi kai ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e founga ke teuteu ai ʻa e kai mo e taimi ʻe totonu ai ke fakahā ki he tokotaha moʻui ʻa e palopalema ʻo e kai.

Ko e hā ʻa e founga ke teuteu ai ki he fakataha ki he tokotaha nifo?

Fakahoko ʻa e fakataha ʻi he taimi ʻoku malolo ai ʻa e tokotaha. Kapau ʻoku loto ai ʻa e tokotaha, fakahā ki he ʻofisi-nifo kimuʻa ʻe lava ke fie taimi lahi ange ʻa e tokotaha, ʻaʻo ha talanoa mahino pe tokoni mei ha tokotaha ʻoku ne falala ki ai. ʻAve ha lisi ʻo e mohu ʻoku ʻi he taimi ni pea mo ha tohi nounou ʻo e meʻa kuo faingataʻa, hangē ko e fufulu, kai pe ʻaʻaki ʻo e nifo-fakatupu.

Fehuʻi ki he kau nifo ke nau talanoa ki he ngaahi sitepu ʻe fai ʻi he taimi tatau.

Kapau ʻoku faingataʻa ʻa e fe’ave’aki ki he ʻofisi ʻoku faʻa ngāue ai, fehuʻi ki he tokotaha nifo ki he ngaahi taimi fakataha ʻoku faingofua ki ai ʻiho vahefonua.

Ko e hā ʻa e founga ke tauhi ai ʻe he kau tokoni kehe ʻa e founga tatau?

Kapau ʻoku tokoni ha mēmipa ʻo e fāmili, faifatongia ʻi he fale, pe kau ngāue ʻo e feituʻu-tokanga, fakaʻaiʻai ʻa e founga ʻoku fiemālie ai ʻa e tokotaha mo kinautolu. Ngāue ʻaki ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku ʻiloa mo ha lea nounou ʻi he taimi ʻoku faingofua ai. Fehuʻi pe ʻoku nau fie ha tokotaha makehe ke tokoni ʻi he taimi kotoa.

Kapau ʻoku talia ʻe he tokotaha, fakahā pē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe tokoni ki he tokoni hoko mai: ʻa e taimi ʻoku fiema’u, ʻa e meʻa ʻoku malava ke fai ʻe he tokotaha ʻaʻane, ʻa e konga ʻoku faingataʻa, mo e taimi ʻoku loto ai ke mavahe ʻa e tokoni. Tauhi ʻa e tohi nounou ʻi he malu, pea muimui ʻi he founga ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻe he feituʻu-tokanga.

Ko e ngaahi fakaʻilo ʻe totonu ke u fakahā ki he tokotaha nifo?

Ko e mamahi ʻi he nifo ʻe faingataʻa ke fakamatala.
