Noho olakino: nā hana maʻemaʻe no nā maʻi pili

Hiki ke pale ʻia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi maʻi ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi. Hiki ke pale ʻia nā maʻi e like me ka pneumonia, ka maʻi ʻaʻai, a me nā maʻi i lawe ʻia i ka meaʻai ma o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe pilikino a me ka home.

ʻO ka maʻemaʻe a me nā maʻi pale

Nā noiʻi i mālama ʻia e UNICEF "ʻO ka maʻi maʻi he mea pepehi nui i nā keiki, ʻo ia ka helu ʻeiwa pākēneka o nā make āpau ma waena o nā keiki ma lalo o 5 mau makahiki ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa." I ka pane ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o ka pilikia, ua hui pū kekahi pūʻulu o ka poʻe a puni ka honua ─me ka ʻike i ka hana maʻemaʻe ─ e kaʻana like i nā ala e pale aku ai i nā keiki mai nā maʻi maʻi. Aia kēia kino i ka Global Hygiene Council (GHC). ʻO kā lākou hihio ke kālele nei i ka hoʻonaʻauao a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike i ka pilina ma waena o ka maʻemaʻe a me ke olakino. ʻO ka hopena, ua loaʻa iā lākou nā ala maʻalahi ʻelima e pale aku i ka pōʻino o nā maʻi maʻi hiki ke pale ʻia.

ʻO ka hana mua e hōʻoia i ka nāwaliwali o nā pēpē. I ka wā ʻōpiopio, ʻike ʻia nā pēpē i ka nāwaliwali o ka pale ʻana a ua nui ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi i ko lākou mau mahina mua. ʻO kekahi manaʻo o ka mālama kūikawā ʻana ma o ka hahai ʻana i ka papa hana o ka lāʻau lapaʻau no nā keiki hānau hou.

ʻO ka lua o ka hana ka pono e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima. Pono kekahi e holoi lima i nā kūlana koʻikoʻi e like me ka hoʻopā ʻana i ka meaʻai, ka hoʻi ʻana mai waho, ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lumi holoi, a ma hope o ka launa pū ʻana me nā holoholona. I ka makahiki 2003, ka Nā Center for the Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)  ua hana ʻia kahi haʻawina e hōʻike ana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka maʻemaʻe maikaʻi e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi i nā keiki. No ka lōʻihi o ʻeiwa mahina, ua māhele ʻia nā keiki i ka poʻe i ʻike ʻia i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka holoi lima a ʻo ka mea hope ʻaʻole. Ua hōʻike nā hopena i nā ʻohana i aʻo ʻia e pili ana i nā hana holoi lima he 50 pākēneka ka liʻiliʻi o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi. Ua hōʻike hou ʻia nā noiʻi hou i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hana o ke keiki. Ua ʻike ʻia nā hopena ma nā mākau e like me ka cognition, motor, communication, personal-social interaction, and adaptive skills.

ʻO ke kolu o ka ʻanuʻu e pili ana i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka pōʻino o ka meaʻai. Hiki ke pale ʻia nā maʻi ʻai me ka mālama pono ʻana i ka meaʻai. Ma waho aʻe o ka holoi ʻana i nā lima ma mua a ma hope o ka lawelawe ʻana i ka meaʻai, pono e hoʻohana ʻia nā pesticides me ka mālama pono e pepehi i nā ʻōpala. Waihona mālama meaʻai he kī nui no ka mālama ʻana i ka meaʻai. Pono e uhi ʻia a mālama ʻia ka meaʻai i kuke ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hana hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me ka hoʻomehana hou.   

Hōʻike ka ʻanuʻu ʻehā i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana ma ka home a me ke kula. ʻO nā ʻili i hoʻopā pinepine ʻia e like me nā kī puka a me nā mamao e pono ai ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe maʻamau e hoʻopau i nā germs.

ʻO ka pae ʻelima e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o ka hopohopo e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i ka antibiotic. E hōʻalo i ka pono o nā lāʻau antibiotic ma ka lawe ʻana i nā hana pale. Hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka pale ʻana o ke keiki ma o ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā meaʻai hoʻoikaika kino i ka meaʻai. Hiki i kēia ke komo i nā hua citrus, nā ʻāpala a me ka maiʻa.

Hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe i mea e hoʻololi ai i ke ʻano o ke ola olakino. ʻO ka makemake e hōʻemi i ke kaumaha o ka maʻi maʻi maʻamau, ʻaʻole ia e pau me nā ʻanuʻu 5 akā e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kahi kuʻuna e hāʻawi ʻia i nā hanauna e hiki mai ana.
