Isingeniso:Isibulala-zinambuzane-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) avame ukusetshenziswa njengesithiyo esingokomzimba ukuvimbela ukutheleleka komalaleveva. Enye yezindlela ezibaluleke kakhulu zokunciphisa umthwalo we-malaria e-sub-Saharan Africa ukusebenzisa ama-ITN. Nokho, kukhona ukushoda kolwazi olwanele ngokusetshenziswa kwama-ITN kanye nezici ezihambisanayo e-Ethiopia.
Amanethi afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane ayisu elingabizi kakhulu lokulawula ama-vector lokuvikela umalaleveva futhi kufanele alashwe ngezibulala-zinambuzane futhi agcinwe njalo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwamanethi afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane ezindaweni ezinomalaleveva kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuvimbela ukudluliswa kukamalaleveva1. Ngokusho kweWorld Health Organisation ngo-2020, cishe ingxenye yabantu emhlabeni isengcupheni yokungenwa umalaleveva, izigameko eziningi nokufa kwabantu kwenzeka emazweni aseNingizimu ne-Afrika, okuhlanganisa ne-Ethiopia. Kodwa-ke, isibalo esikhulu samacala nokufa kuye kwabikwa ezifundeni ze-WHO South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific kanye naseMelika1,2.
Amathuluzi: Idatha yaqoqwa kusetshenziswa uhlu lwemibuzo olulawulwa umuntu oxoxisana naye kanye nohlu lokuhlola lokuhlola, olwakhiwe ngokusekelwe ezifundweni ezishicilelwe ezifanele nezilungiswa ezithile31. Uhlu lwemibuzo locwaningo lwalunezigaba ezinhlanu: izici zenhlalo yabantu, ukusetshenziswa nolwazi lwe-ITN, isakhiwo somndeni nobukhulu bendlu, kanye nezici zomuntu/zokuziphatha, eziklanyelwe ukuqoqa ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nababambe iqhaza. Lolu hlu lokuhlola lube nekhono lokuzungeza okuphawuliwe okwenziwe. Lanamathiselwa eduze kohlu lwemibuzo lomuzi ngamunye ukuze abasebenzi basensimini bahlole abakubonile ngaphandle kokuphazamisa inhlolokhono. Njengesitatimende sokuziphatha, ababambiqhaza bocwaningo lwethu bahlanganisa izifundo zabantu futhi izifundo ezibandakanya izifundo zabantu kufanele zihambisane neSimemezelo sase-Helsinki. Ngakho-ke, ikomidi lesikhungo le-Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, i-Bahir Dar University yagunyaza zonke izinqubo ezihlanganisa noma yimiphi imininingwane efanele, eyenziwa ngokuhambisana neziqondiso nemithethonqubo efanele, futhi imvume enolwazi yatholwa kubo bonke ababambiqhaza.
Kwezinye izindawo, kungase kube nokungaqondi kahle noma ukumelana nokusetshenziswa kwamanetha afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane, okuholela ekuthathweni okuncane. Ezinye izindawo zingase zibhekane nezinselelo ezihlukile njengokungqubuzana, ukufuduka, noma ubumpofu obudlulele okungakhawulela kakhulu ukusatshalaliswa kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamanethi afakwe isibulala-zinambuzane, njengesifunda sase-Benishangul Gumuz Metekel.
Lo mehluko ungahle ubangelwe yizinto eziningi, okuhlanganisa isikhathi phakathi kwezifundo (isilinganiso seminyaka eyisithupha), umehluko ekuqwashiseni nasekufundiseni ngokuvimbela umalaleveva, nokwehluka kwesifunda emisebenzini yokuphromotha. Ukusetshenziswa kwamanethi afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane ngokuvamile kuphakeme ezindaweni ezinokungenelela kwezemfundo okuphumelelayo nengqalasizinda yezempilo engcono. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amasiko nezinkolelo zendawo zingase zibe nomthelela ekwamukeleni kwabantu ukusetshenziswa kwenetha. Njengoba lolu cwaningo lwenziwa ezindaweni ezigcwele umalaleveva ezinengqalasizinda yezempilo engcono kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwamanethi afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane, ukufinyeleleka kanye nokutholakala kwamanetha kungase kube phezulu kule ndawo uma kuqhathaniswa nezindawo ezisetshenziswa kancane.
Ukuhlangana phakathi kweminyaka yobudala kanye nokusetshenziswa kwe-ITN kungase kube ngenxa yezinto ezimbalwa: abantu abasha bavame ukusebenzisa ama-ITN kaningi ngoba bazizwa benesibopho esikhulu ngempilo yezingane zabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imikhankaso yakamuva yokukhuthaza impilo iqondise ngempumelelo izizukulwane ezincane futhi yandisa ukuqwashisa kwabo ngokuvikela umalaleveva. Amathonya omphakathi, okuhlanganisa imikhuba yontanga neyomphakathi, nawo angase abe nendima, njengoba abantu abasha bevame ukwamukela izeluleko ezintsha zezempilo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, bavame ukuba nokufinyelela okungcono ezinsizeni futhi ngokuvamile bazimisele kakhulu ukusebenzisa izindlela ezintsha nobuchwepheshe, okubenza bamukele kakhudlwana ukusetshenziswa okuqhubekayo kwamanethi afakelwe izibulala-zinambuzane.
