Vocabulaire
deal with (to)
|
« s’occuper de », « se charger de », « prendre
en charge » ; voir care.
|
care
|
Littéralement, « le soin », à partir duquel est
formé le substantif healthcare :
« la santé » (au sens collectif, autrement dit « le domaine de
la santé », par opposition à la santé individuelle, health. Dans l’infographie, les verbes formés à partir de
substantif sont : to care for
something/someone, to take care of something/someone, to provide care to
someone.
|
elderly
|
« âgé ». Cet adjectif a été substantivé (the elderly, « les personnes
âgées » ; comme les adjectifs sont invariables en anglais, les
adjectifs substantivés le sont aussi.
|
chronically ill
|
A chronical illness
est l’équivalent anglais d’une ALD. Voir aussi illness.
|
illness
|
L’anglais possède trois mots pour la maladie : illness (de l’adjectif ill), sickness (de l’adjectif sick)
et disease. La distinction
n’est pas aisée et même les anglophones éprouvent des difficultés à la faire.
Dans la pratique, illness est très
général et certaines affections sont soit des diseases, soit des sicknesses,
soit des illnesses : heart
disease, Altzheimer’s disease, sea sickness (« mal de mer »), motion sickness (« mal des
transports), mental illness. Les diseases sont plus graves que les sicknesses et, sauf erreur, les
maladies infectieuses, par exemple, sont des diseases. Voir aussi
chronic illness.
|
acute
|
« aigu », donc « grave ». Dans
l’infographie, acute est souvent associé à chronical.
|
dressing
|
« pansement »
|
recover (to)
|
« se rétablir » ; recovery = « rétablissement ».
|
support
|
« soutien »
|
minimize (to)
|
« limiter » et non pas « minimiser »
|
surgical procedure
|
« intervention chirurgicale »
|
heathcare professionals
|
« les professionnels de santé » (voir aussi care). Dans l’infographie, comme
ailleurs, ce terme renvoie aux médecins et semble souvent exclure le
personnel infirmier.
|
implement (to)
|
« mettre en œuvre »
|
rehabilitation
|
« rééducation ». S’abrège souvent en rehab, qui désigne
alors plutôt la « désintoxication ». Dans d’autres contextes, ce
terme correspond aussi à la « réhabilitation », à la
« réinsertion » et à la « réintégration (sociale) » en
français.
|
disability
|
« handicap », « infirmité » voir
« troubles » (learning
disablity = « troubles de l’apprentissage »). L’adjectif est
disabled. En anglais, le mot handicapped
est sensible : political
correctness (PC) oblige, on lui préfère souvent challenged (developmentally
challenged, educationally challenged, emotionally challenged, voire, avec
humour, vertically challenged,
c’est-à-dire « nain », ou follicularly
challenged, autrement dit « chauve »).
|
wound
|
« plaie » et parfois, hors contexte médical, « blessure ».
|
bowel
|
« boyau », donc « intestin » voire « côlon »
(ex. irritable bowel syndrome, IBS =
« côlon irritable ». N’a pas la connotation familière du terme « boyau »
en français et s’emploie par exemple pour le cancer de l’intestin (bowel cancer) ou, par euphémisme, pour
parler le fait d’aller à la selle (bowel
movement).
|
bladder
|
« vessie ». Gall
bladder (ou gallbladder) = « vésicule
biliaire ».
