Italian term or phrase: soggezione psicologica
Il testo accenna alla soggezione psicologica del paziente nei confronti del medico e in vista di un intervento chirurgico.

Sono incerta tra i termini:
psychological subjection e psychological uneasiness

Il primo mi sembra troppo forte, il secondo poco specifico.

Idee, suggerimenti? Grazie in anticipo.

I think I'd leave out the psicologica and say e.g. "...who often feel uneasy..." or "...who often feel ill at ease..." or "...feel a sense of awe..."

but this would be neater:
"...who are often ill at ease or misinformed..."
