Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini kwabesifazane usuneminyaka embalwa ungaziwa. Kukhona ababekuthatha ngokuthi "isifo", okwakubenza bangakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi yomzimba ngesikhathi sokuya esikhathini. Akukhona okokuqala ukuthi siphawule ngezinzuzo ezilethwa ezemidlalo ezigabeni ezehlukene, futhi kufanele siziqeqeshe kanjani ukuze sizuze ngokugcwele ekuqeqeshweni kwethu.
Manje, ucwaningo lwakamuva lubonise imizwa ehlukene abesifazane ababa nayo lapho beqhuba imidlalo ngezinguquko ezihlukahlukene zamahomoni, futhi sinjani isimo sabo kulokhu.
Ukushintsha kwama-hormone kukuthinta kanjani ukusebenza?
Ucwaningo lwenziwe ngabakwa Strava, inkundla yokuxhumana yabasubathi, kanye ISt Mary's University (UK) kanye nohlelo lokusebenza I-FitrWoman. Abesifazane abayizi-14.184 abavela e-United Kingdom, e-Ireland, e-United States, eSpain, eJalimane, eFrance naseBrazil babambe iqhaza kuwo; kube inhloso enkulu yokukhanyisa umphumela wokuzijwayeza kwezemidlalo esikhathini, ukukhulelwa kanye nokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini, ngaphezu kokuthi ngayinye yazo ithonya kanjani ukusebenza kwabesifazane. Imiphumela yokuqala yocwaningo iveza ukuthi ku-78% wabesifazane, ukuzivocavoca kuqeda ukungakhululeki okubangelwa ku umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini.
Ama-66% ayakuqinisekisa lokho ezemidlalo ziphinde zisize ekunciphiseni ukuguquguquka kwemizwelo noma ukwanda kokucasuka okubangelwa ukuya esikhathini; U-45% ubheka ukuthi bane- umthelela omuhle kumajaqamba esiswini, futhi u-39% ubheka ukuthi ezemidlalo ziyabasiza ukuba ulale kangcono. Imiphumela ikhombisa ukuthi u-47% ubheka lokho ukuvivinya umzimba ngamandla okusesilinganisweni kuphumelela kakhulu ekulweni nobuhlungu bokuya esikhathini.
Lolu cwaningo luphinde luveze ukuthi u-69% wabesifazane sekumele shintsha indlela yakho yezemidlalo ngezikhathi ezithile. Njengoba u-88% wabesifazane bezwa lokho ukusebenza kwezemidlalo kuba kubi ngesikhathi esithile emjikelezweni wokuya esikhathini. Kodwa-ke, ama-72% aqinisekisa okuthile okuvamile phakathi kwabasubathi: abakaze bathole noma yiluphi uhlobo lwemfundo noma ulwazi mayelana nobuhlobo phakathi komkhuba wezemidlalo kanye nomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini. Eqinisweni, labo abanolwazi oluthile i-autodidact.
Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini unamuphi umphumela ngosuku nosuku?
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, lolu cwaningo luphinde lwafuna ukuhlaziya ukuthi zazikhona kanjani ezinye izici zokuphila kwansuku zonke zowesifazane ezithintwa umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini. Ngokusho kwedatha eqoqiwe, Owesifazane oyedwa kwabathathu kudingeke ukuthi athathe ikhefu emsebenzini ngenxa yezimpawu zokuya esikhathini futhi u-44% wabo usebenzisa uhlobo oluthile lwe umuthi ukunciphisa ubuhlungu phakathi nomjikelezo. Nokho, kubuye kuboniswe ukuthi labo Landela izincomo ze-WHO (ukulala amahora angaphezu kuka-7 ngosuku futhi udle 5 noma ngaphezulu izingcezu zezithelo nemifino), kukhona mancane amathuba okuthi ungabi khona emsebenzini ngenxa yezimpawu.
«Azikho izikhala ezanele zokukhuluma ngokukhululekile ngomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini nezimpawu zawo, nokuthi umthinta kanjani umsubathi wesifazane. I-Strava inomphakathi omkhulu emhlabeni wabasubathi besifazane, futhi siyaziqhenya ukusiza ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda okukhulu kokuxhumana phakathi kobuhlungu besikhathi kanye nokuzijwayeza kwezemidlalo. Siyaqiniseka ukuthi singasebenzisa inkundla yethu ukukhombisa ukuthi ukuntuleka kwemfundo noma ukuxoxisana ngakho kunethonya elibi kanjani ikusasa labasubathi.“Kuchaza uStephanie Hannon, uMphathi Womkhiqizo kwaStrava.
