CALEDON \u2013 Demensie is nie iets waaroor mense maklik praat nie \u2013 dalk omdat hulle nie genoeg daarvan weet nie, of omdat \u2019n mate van stigmatisering rakende die onderwerp nog bestaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heidehof-tehuis vir bejaardes in Caledon, in samewerking met die Caledon-dameskring, het onlangs \u2019n baie interessante werksessie met die tema \u201cDie dief in ons voorkamer\u201d, wat oor demensie en die versorging van demen\u00adsie-pasi\u00ebnte handel, aangebied. \u2019n Inter\u00adaktiewe inligtingsessie vir versorgers van demensie-pasi\u00ebnte is ook gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esther M\u00f6ller, uitvoerende bestuurder van Heidehof, s\u00ea: \u201cEk het onlangs \u2019n demensie-werksessie bygewoon en besef \u2019n werklike groot behoefte aan inligting bestaan. Daarom het ek besluit om \u2019n werksessie in die Overberg-omgewing te re\u00ebl. Ek is dankbaar dat verskeie deskundiges op die gebied bereid was om hul tyd op te offer en hul kennis met kursusgangers te deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie bywoning was besonder goed. Belangstellendes, asook versorgers, van reg oor die Overberg-streek het die werksessie bygewoon. Mense van Swellendam, Bredasdorp, Greyton, Hermanus en Caledon was daar. Die werksessie was \u2019n groot sukses en ek is seker almal het baat daarby gevind en is met nuwe kennis daar weg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00f6ller s\u00ea die terugvoer wat uit die evalueringsvorms ontvang is, was uitstekend. \u201cVersoeke vir die aanbied van gereelde werksessies met verskeie onderwerpe is ontvang. Mense is honger vir hierdie soort geleentheid om hul vaardigheid en kennis te verskerp. \u2019n Behoefte aan praktiese raad bestaan om hedendaagse uitdagings die hoof te bied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk skenk ernstige oorweging aan die herhaling van hierdie werksessie in ander streke, maar ook met ander relevante onderwerpe in gedagte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hermanus Times<\/em> het met twee kursusgangers gesels oor hul indrukke van die werksessie. Leeann Pitcher, \u2019n versorger van Hermanus, s\u00ea: \u201cEk werk al 10 jaar as versorger van demensie-pasi\u00ebnte en het dit baie behulpsaam gevind. Ek het sekere dinge nie geweet nie, wat ek nou in my werk kan toepas. Van die woorde wat gebruik is, was nogal \u2018hoog\u2019, maar ek gaan hulle gewis in \u2019n woordeboek naslaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salomien Beukes van Caledon s\u00ea: \u201cEk is nie \u2019n versorger nie, maar omdat dit al jare \u2019n passie van my is om met bejaardes en kinders te werk, het ek die geleentheid aangegryp om hierdie werksessie by te woon. As student het ek ses maande vrywillige werk by \u2019n private ouetehuis se siekeboeg gedoen waar ons ongeveer 20 pasi\u00ebnte met demensie versorg het. Ek het baie by die werksessies geleer en ook baie dinge herken uit my ondervinding wat ek by die ouetehuis opgedoen het. Dit was werklik \u2019n baie positiewe ervaring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die kliniese sielkundige Hestie Endr\u00f6dy het insiggewende inligting oor demensie verskaf. Inge Koper, \u2019n prokureur, het waardevolle inligting rakende kuratorskap van demensie-pasi\u00ebnte se finansi\u00eble belange gegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marnel Coetzee, \u2019n voedselkundige, het interessante en praktiese wenke met betrekking tot voeding en versorging van pasi\u00ebnte gedeel. Die algemene praktisyn dr. Reenen Schoonbee van Caledon het gepraat oor demensie en normale geheue-inperking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die gaskunstenaar Lizette Janse van Rensburg het die kursusgangers met haar musiek en getuienis vermaak. Die dameskring van Caledon het heerlike verversings en \u2019n ligte middagete voorsien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CALEDON \u2013 Demensie is nie iets waaroor mense maklik
