Cancer patients [Mexican Spanish]
Hello again
Still on the verbatims from physicians about pictures/images they are looking at in relation to the care of terminally-ill patients with cancer.
Sugiere compromiso familiar que es lo que se relaciona con los diferentes enunciados ya mencionados con anterioridad
sus expresiones y actitudes posturales
Transmite el mensaje de querer ayudar
una familia arropada y segura
I have tentatively translated "arropada" as "protected"..
Thank you!

Spanish term (edited):
arropada [here]
Selected
tightly knit
tightly knit = closely and firmly integrated. It sounds like its referring to the family having a good support structure...

: For some reason I would opt for 'closely knit' here; dunno why, it's just a personal preference really.

Here are some examples of how "arropado" is used in Spanish in this context:
Su familia es muy protectora y siempre ha estado muy arropado por ella.
http://www.psiquired.com/Casos Clínicos/estemundono.asp
La enfermedad pone a prueba a toda la familia y en estos casos se supera la prueba creando varios círculos de apoyo en torno al cuidador principal, que se ve continuamente ***arropado*** por el resto de los familiares
http://www.caritas.es/Componentes/ficheros/file_view.php?MTM...
Y rodeado por todos ellos, el propio paciente, arropado también por su familia.

I see what you mean, but the Spanish is so fragmented it's hard to tell. I'm sorry for Liz who has to interpret all these little snippets :)

sheltered
Similar to "protected" in meaning. You could also say "supported" or even "comforted" in some cases (see links below) but they do not work here as adjectives.
I would translate "segura" as "confident".
"A sheltered and confident family".

If the original version is exactly as you published it, it is not very well written I'm afraid.
