Alle vroue loop die risiko om borskanker te kry.<\/p>\n
Om lewens te red, het die Worcester-hospitaal se radiografie-span planne gemaak sodat meer vroue wat vir mammogramme verwys word, vinniger gehelp kan word. <\/p>\n
Die afgelope tyd het hul wagtydperk vir \u2019n mammogram-afspraak van \u2019n maksimum van 40 dae tot \u2019n maksimum van 20 dae verkort. Met Vrouemaand s\u00ea Wes-Kaap Gesondheid en Welstand dankie aan spanne soos hierdie wat alles insit om vroue se welstand te bevorder.<\/p>\n
Die radiografiespan gee ondersteuning aan binne-pasi\u00ebnte, buitepasi\u00ebnte, ongevallepasi\u00ebnte asook enige pasi\u00ebnt van die omliggende gebiede wat \u2019n spesiale radiografie-diens benodig. Onder leiding van Elindi Dreyden bedien hulle tot 160 pasi\u00ebnte per dag. Sy is baie trots op haar span wat, ten spyte van die werkslading, kans gesien het om nuwe planne te maak sodat vroue wat vir mammogramme en bors-sonars verwys word, vinniger \u2019n afspraak kan kry. <\/p>\n
Dokters gebruik \u2019n mammogram (\u2019n spesiale X-straal-ondersoek) om te help met die diagnose van borskanker. Hoe gouer die diagnose gemaak word, hoe gouer kan behandeling begin en lewens gered word. Volgens die Kankervereni\u00adging van SA ontwikkel 1 uit 27 vroue in hul lewe borskanker. <\/p>\n
Die span het in 2022 \u2019n studie begin, data nagegaan en \u2019n nuwe mikpunt vir hulle gestel: om die wagtydperk vir \u2019n afspraak te verkort tot \u2019n maksimum van 20 dae. \u2019n Paar jaar gelede was die wagtydperk tot vier maande. Die span kon dit mettertyd verkort tot \u2019n maksimum van sowat 40 dae, maar hulle wou verder verbeter hierop, en hulle het. Hulle het \u2019n vergadering gehou en almal het ingestem om \u2019n nuwe aanslag te volg, al sou dit heel waarskynlik beteken dat hulle oortyd moes werk. <\/p>\n
Mammogramme en bors-sonars word gewoonlik Dinsdae en Donderdae gedoen wanneer \u2019n radioloog beskikbaar is om die uitslae te interpreteer. Die span het aanvanklik agt mammograme op elk van hierdie dae gedoen en dit tot 18 op die onderskeie dae vermeerder. Waar moontlik help hulle ook pasi\u00ebnte wat nie op \u2019n Dinsdag of Donderdag vir \u2019n mammogram beskikbaar is nie, asook onbespreekte pasi\u00ebnte. <\/p>\n
Hul data het gewys dat sowat 30% van pasi\u00ebnte daag nie vir hul afsprake op nie. Die span het begin om pasi\u00ebnte te bel om seker te maak of daar iets is wat van die hospitaal se kant af gedoen kan word om dit te verhoed. Dit is kommerwekkend as iemand nie kom vir hul mammogram nie, s\u00ea Elindi, want die meeste kere dat \u2019n mammogram deur \u2019n gesondheidswerker versoek word, is dit dringend. Die hospitaal het gesofistikeerde tegnologie en \u2019n span wat die diens bou rondom pasi\u00ebnte, maar lewens kan net gered word as pasi\u00ebnte opdaag vir hul mammogramme en verdere leiding volg. <\/p>\n
Hulle is trots om te s\u00ea hulle het hul doel bereik.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns sit alles in. Al is ons besig, is die geheim om nie haastig te wees nie,\u201d s\u00ea Elindi. \u201cHierdie diens is baie persoonlik. Ek het verlede jaar \u2019n tannie vir wie ek baie lief was, aan borskanker verloor,\u201d s\u00ea sy. \u201cEk is \u2019n ma. Ek het \u2019n ma. Ek het twee sussies en twee dogters. Vir ons is dit nie net \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt wat hier instap nie. Dis my susters, my ma, my tannies . . .<\/p>\n
\u201cHoe gouer jy kom vir die mammo\u00adgram, hoe beter ook vir jou geestesgesondheid. Dan weet jy wat daardie knop is en personeel help jou met die volgende stappe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gesondheidswerkers beveel aan dat vroue elke maand hul borste ondersoek op die dag n\u00e1 hul menstruele siklus. As jy tekens soos hierdie opmerk, moet jy na jou naaste kliniek gaan: .<\/span> Veranderinge aan die bors of tepel se voorkoms of grootte;.<\/span> Knoppe of swelling in jou borste of die kliere onder jou arm;.<\/span> Veranderings aan die bors se vel;.<\/span> Pyn of gevoeligheid aan die bors of tepel;.<\/span> Afskeiding uit die tepels.<\/p>\n \u201cEk het \u2019n wenspan. Soos enige werk het jy uitdagings, maar ons het dieselfde doelwit. Hulle is toegewyd,\u201d s\u00ea Elindi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alle vroue loop die risiko om borskanker te
