French term or phrase: entourage

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...

family and friends

Explanation:
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.
