Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane emakhaya kulimaza ukukhula kwemisipha yezingane

 "Ukuqonda umthelela we-isibulala-zinambuzane sasekhayaukusetshenziswa ekuthuthukisweni kwemisipha yezingane kubalulekile ngoba ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane zasekhaya kungaba yisici esiyingozi esingashintshwa,” kusho uHernandez-Cast, umbhali wokuqala wocwaningo lukaLuo. “Ukuthuthukisa ezinye izindlela eziphephile zokulawula izinambuzane kungakhuthaza intuthuko enempilo yezingane.”
Abacwaningi benze ucwaningo ngocingo komama abangu-296 abanezingane ezisanda kuzalwa abavela eqenjini lokukhulelwa le-Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES). Abacwaningi bahlole ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane zasekhaya lapho izinsana zinezinyanga ezintathu ubudala. Abacwaningi bahlole ukukhula kwemisipha yezinsana ephelele neyinhle ezinyangeni eziyisithupha besebenzisa imibuzo ephathelene nobudala nesigaba. Izinsana ezinonina ababike ukuthi zisebenzisa izibulala-zinambuzane ezidla amagundane nezinambuzane ekhaya, zinciphise kakhulu amakhono azo okunyakaza uma kuqhathaniswa nezinsana ezingazange zibike ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane ekhaya.

“Sekuyisikhathi eside sazi ukuthi amakhemikhali amaningi ayingozi ebuchosheni obusakhula,” kusho uTracy Bastain, Ph.D., MPH, isazi sezifo zemvelo kanye nombhali omkhulu walolu cwaningo. “Lolu olunye lwezifundo zokuqala ezinikeza ubufakazi bokuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane ekhaya kungalimaza intuthuko ye-psychomotor ezinganeni. Lokhu okutholakele kubaluleke kakhulu kumaqembu aswele ngokwezenhlalo nangokwezomnotho, avame ukubhekana nezimo zokuhlala ezimbi futhi abelana ngomthwalo wokuchayeka kumakhemikhali emvelo kanye nomthwalo omkhulu wemiphumela emibi yezempilo.”
Abahlanganyeli eqenjini le-MADRES baqashwe ngaphambi kokuba bafike emavikini angu-30 ubudala emitholampilo emithathu yomphakathi ebambisene kanye nomtholampilo wangasese wezokwelapha nokwelashwa kwabesifazane eLos Angeles. Iningi labo lingabantu abahola kancane nabangamaHispanic. UMilena Amadeus, owasungula inqubo yokuqoqwa kwedatha njengomqondisi wephrojekthi yocwaningo lwe-MADRES, uyazwelana nomama abakhathazekile ngabantwana babo. “Njengomzali, kuhlale kuyesabeka lapho izingane zakho zingalandeli indlela evamile yokukhula noma yokuthuthuka ngoba uqala ukuzibuza, ‘Ingabe zizokwazi ukubathola?’ Lokhu kuzothinta kanjani ikusasa lazo?’ kusho u-Amadeus, omawele akhe azalwa ngaphambi kwamasonto angu-26 okukhulelwa ngenxa yokukhula kwemisipha okulibazisekile. “Nginenhlanhla yokuba nomshwalense. Nginethuba lokubaletha ezikhundleni. Nginethuba lokubasiza bakhule ekhaya, engingazi ukuthi imindeni yethu eminingi efundayo iyakwenza yini lokho,” kusho u-Amadeus. omawele akhe manje aseneminyaka engu-7 ephilile. “Kufanele ngivume ukuthi ngasizwa futhi ngaba nelungelo lokuthola usizo.” URima Habre noCarrie W.
