Bambalwa abapopu ngexesha leCovid-19 i-thendemics, kodwa i-Britine Actamics ifumene enye: Abantu bakhangeleka benxibe iimaski ezikhuselayo.
Abaphandi kwiYunivesithi yaseCarriff bamangaliswa kukufumanisa ukuba bobabini amadoda nabafazi bacinga ukuba babonakala bhetele xa isiqingatha sayo sebusweni sigutyungelwe.
Inokuba kukubetha kubenzi befishini yefashoni kunye nokusingqongileyo, abaye bafumanisa ukuba imaski egutyungelwe ziimaski zokuhlinzwa ezilahlekileyo zinokuthathwa njengeyona nto inomdla.
Umfundi kunye nengcali yobuso uGqr Michael Lewis, ovela kwisikolo saseyunivesithi yeCaricchology, ebhalwe uphando olwenziwe ngaphambi kokuba i-sperdene ifumanise ukuba imaski yezonyango yayiyinto ebonakalayo ngenxa yokugula okanye isifo.
"Sasifuna ukuvavanya ukuba ingaba le iguqukile ekubeni isigqubuthelo sokujongana sinezinto zangaphambi kwaye sibone ukuba olu hlobo lwemaski lunayo nayiphi na impembelelo," utshilo.
"Uphando lwethu lubonisa ukuba ubuso obunxibe iimaski zezonyango zithathwa njengezona zinomtsalane."
Inxalenye yokuqala yesifundo yenziwa ngoFebruwari 2021, ngexesha apho abantu baseBritani babeqhele ukunxiba imaski yamadoda ngaphandle kwe-1 ukuya kwi-Blue Commen kunye ne-10) ifihliwe.
Abathathi-nxaxheba bathi abo banxiba i-mayas yelaphu babenomdla ngakumbi kunabo abangakhange bajongelwe yincwadi.but yemaski ye-subgical-imaski nje enokulahlwa-yenza ukuba i-Debler ijongeke ngcono.
"Iziphumo ziqhutywa kuphando lwangaphambi kobhubhane, apho kwakucingelwa ukuba ukunxiba imaski kunokubangela ukuba abantu bacinge ngokugula kwaye" utshilo uLewis.
"I-thendemic itshintshile indlela esijonga ngayo abantu abanxiba i-maski. Xa sibona umntu onxibe imaski, asisacingi ukuba 'loo mntu uyagula kwaye kufuneka aqhubeke naye'.
"Oku kuye kwenziwa ngengqondo yengqondo yendaleko kwaye kutheni sizikhetha amaqabane ethu. Ubungqina besifo kwi-MATCHOCHEYISEKILE.
Imaski inokwenza ukuba abantu banomdla ngakumbi kuba bagxile emehlweni, uLewis uthe.Ozifundo ezithe chu zifumanise ukuba abantu bajonge kakhulu, ukuba benza ukuba ubuchopho bube bhetyebheke kakhulu kwaye bugqithisele kwimpembelelo yonke, utshilo.
Iziphumo zophando lokuqala zipapashiwe kuphando lweNtlalo: Imigaqo kunye neziphumo zenziwe.Isifundo sesibini senziwe apho iqela lamadoda lakhangela kubafazi banxiba imaski; Ayikakhululwa, kodwa uLewis wathi iziphumo zazingafani.
IXESHA LOKUQALA: FEB-20 ukuya ku-2022
