Izinkampani zezindiza nempilo yengqondo: Izinkinga okufanele ucabange ngazo

WASHINGTON, DC – INational Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) namuhla ikhiphe isitatimende esilandelayo mayelana nezigameko zakamuva zezindiza zeAmerican Airlines kanye neJetBlue.

NgoMashi 27 kuleli sonto, umshayeli wendiza iJetBlue wabhekana nesimo esiphuthumayo endizeni. NgoMashi 10, isisebenzi sendiza ye-American Airlines siphinde sabhekana nenkinga yezempilo ngenkathi sisendizeni. Esimeni sakamuva, le nkinga ngokusobala yayihilela lokho akubonisa ukuthi ukuxilongwa okwakukhona ngaphambili kwe-bipolar disorder. Lezi zigameko ziphakamise ukukhathazeka mayelana nezindaba zokuphepha komphakathi kanye nempilo yengqondo endizeni nakwezinye izindawo zokusebenza.

Kuze kube manje, alukho ulwazi oluqinisekisa ukuthi ukugula kwengqondo kwakuhilelekile kulesi sigameko se-JetBlue. Ziningi izimbangela ezingase zibe nezinguquko kungazelelwe ekuziphatheni, kusukela kushukela kuya emithini yemithi kanye nokungalali kahle. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukuhlolwa okuphelele kubalulekile kunoma ubani ohlangabezana noshintsho olusheshayo ekuziphatheni.

Noma kunjalo, kunamaphuzu nezimiso ezibanzi ezifanele ukuxoxisana nomphakathi.

Umthetho WaseMelika Abakhubazekile (ADA) uvumela uhlu lwemibuzo lwezempilo nokuhlolwa kwezokwelapha lapho kudingekile ukuze ufanelekele izikhundla ezithile—inqobo nje uma kwenzeka ngemva kokunikezwa umsebenzi futhi kusetshenziswa kubo bonke abantu abaqashiwe noma abaqashwe ezikhundleni zalolo hlobo.

I-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) igodla izitifiketi zezokwelapha zekilasi lokuqala zabashayeli bezindiza abaphuza imithi ethile. Kusukela ngo-2010, i-FAA ibe nokuhlukile kubashayeli bezindiza abathatha imithi elwa nokucindezeleka yokucindezeleka okuncane kuya kokulinganisela. Kubashayeli bezindiza abayizi-120,000, cishe abangama-30 basebenzise okuhlukile. Okuhlukile akusebenzi kwezinye izimo zezokwelapha ezifana nokuphazamiseka kokukhathazeka.

Izimo zezempilo ezingase zithinte ukuphepha komphakathi azigcini nje ngokugula ngengqondo kodwa zingabandakanya izinhlobonhlobo zezinye izifo, okuhlanganisa nesifo senhliziyo, isifo sikashukela, isithuthwane, ukungaboni kahle nokunye. Ukukhathazeka ngezokwelapha nakho akugcini nje embonini yezindiza; zibandakanya nezinye izinhlobo zezokuthutha neminye imisebenzi efana namaphoyisa, odokotela, abameli nabanye.

Kubalulekile ukuthi izinqubomgomo ezilawula ukukhathazeka ngezempilo nempilo yengqondo emisebenzini ethile zingadali izithiyo zokuthi abantu bafune usizo lwezokwelapha lapho beludinga ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi izimpilo zabo zingase zibe sengozini.

Ukuqwashisa okukhulu ngezindaba zempilo yengqondo kanye nokuqeqeshwa ezimpendulweni ezifanele nezisebenzayo ezimweni ezibucayi kufanele kube yingxenye yazo zonke izimboni nendawo yokusebenza.
