Medical - Psychology
Italian term or phrase: essere ammalato
la mia difficoltà è nel rendere il registro "alto". La frase, da un paper tecnico, è questa "Prendersi in carico il paziente oncologico in modo globale, da un punto di vista bio-sociale, deve portare a una valutazione anche delle "componenti sociali dell'essere ammalato"

tentativo: taking the oncological patient in charge from a bio-social point of view, must also lead to the evaluation of the social components of being sick"?

non sono soddisfatta dell'intero periodo....

Alcuni esempi della seconda proposta da fonti autorevoli (per il registro che cerchi):

If two carriers of a condition have a child, there is a 1 in 4 or 25% chance of that child having the condition in question.

Women are also more likely than men to have a condition called broken heart syndrome. In this recently recognized heart problem, extreme emotional stress can lead to severe (but often short-term) heart muscle failure.

(the social aspects) of being sick/ill


Explanation:
Credo che in questo caso si possa parlare di 'social aspects of being sick/ill'.

Cfr. 'the sick role': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_role
"Sick role is a term used in medical sociology concerning the social aspects of falling ill and the privileges and obligations that accompany it.[1] It is a concept created by American sociologist Talcott Parsons in 1951."

Nota: Io utilizzerei di preferenza 'ill' al posto di 'sick', per il tipo di registro implicato. Poi vedi tu a seconda di come hai reso il resto del contesto. ;)

"Parsons' vision of the social aspects of being ill found wide recognition. By defining patients' and doctors' roles, the rules of the health care arena were also defined."

agree  James (Jim) Davis: With "ill" but not with "being sick"which also means to vomit and lowers the register, regardless of Parsons.

  -> Thanks, Jim. I'd use 'being ill', too (who cares about Parsons, anyway? ;) )
agree  Michael Korovkin: "Ill", not "sick". As it happens, I DO care about Parsons.
