French term

entourage

Non-PRO French to English Medical Medical (general) psychiatry
psychology - case report - "Environ trois semaines après l’intervention chirurgicale, **l’entourage** est alerté par une modification du comportement du patient qui présente une discrète élation de l’humeur avec jovialité..."; is it correct to use "family circle" when the entourage may well not be family? What is the term used in psychiatry? I'm getting through teh rest of this fine, but a blockage (!) on entourage! Thanks...
Proposed translations (English)
4 +5 those close to the patient
4 +4 family and friends
4 near relatives

writeaway Feb 17, 2005:
Thanks-then you do need a very general term-that was actually why I asked ;-). How to translate it does depend on who these people are.
Non-ProZ.com Feb 17, 2005:
context context (writeaway): we're in a case report here where the patient has had deep-brain stimulation of teh subthalamic nucleus against a background of advanced parkisnon's; the patient is discharged and "returned home" - the patient was not "a pop-star on tour" and no they didn't "remove one of the lobes in his brain". I think 'entourage' in French covers family, friends, colleagues, literally anyone 'in contact with the patient' able to observe "une modification du comportement du patient". I ask the question because I imagine UK/US psychiatrists must have a phrase that covers this idea.
writeaway Feb 17, 2005:
where is the person when this occurs-at home, in a clinc, in a care facility? ?
Non-ProZ.com Feb 17, 2005:
entourage est alerté entourage est alerté probably has a standard formula as a whole unit, no?

those close to the patient

that way you avoid committing to "family"

*** dans le contexte explicité ces personnes sont vraiment malades et l\'entourage est la cellule familiale permanente proche (à exclure ex-collègues de travail ou voisins ou amis visiteurs intermittents)
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : the expression is close relatives in English-but that's too precise for such a vague context imho.

family and friends

you could say the patient's family and friends are alarmed....
or if you google "patient's entourage", you'll see many relevant references too, even though we tend to associate the word entourage with celebreties.

I was by no means implying that the patient was a pop-star, and I don\'t know if there\'s a set term for this, but I see nothing wrong with patient\'s entourage. It covers everyone in contact with the patient.
Peer comment(s):

agree Josephine Billet : I like this term - it covers everyone "close to the patient" in a more concise manner, although I alway shave it the other way around: friends and family
