Provenance: Reviewed field-research record

Word class

বিশেষ্য / noun

Lexical status

Established evaluative noun; transfer of online-commerce distrust into care discussion.

Recorded forms

প্রতারণা

Research meaning — English

Deception/cheating invoked to explain distrust of online care. The CHW illustrates the concern with receiving a different product from the one ordered, rather than a verified mental-health-service fraud (the source transcript, a source record, a source record, a source record).

Research meaning — Bengali

ঠকানো বা কথা ও কাজের ফারাক ঘটিয়ে বিশ্বাস ভাঙা; অনলাইন সেবার প্রতি কম বিশ্বাস ব্যাখ্যা করতে বক্তা পণ্য অর্ডারের সঙ্গে ভিন্ন পণ্য পাওয়ার উদাহরণ দেন।

What this research adds

Distinct from ভন্ড healer identity: this is a broader trust concern transferred from online transactions to remote care.

Mental health connection

Analyst: records a reason for conditional trust, rather than a symptom of pathological suspicion.

Safe messaging for media

  • Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
  • Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
  • For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
  • Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

Context of use

Discussion of whether people with internet access would use online mental-health support.

Learning from the accounts

Reported effects

The worker says trust is reduced; willingness to recommend a service later depends on its usefulness.

Attributed origins

The example concerns ordering goods. No named telehealth provider or verified transaction is identified.

Variation and visualization

Keep hypothetical/general concern, an illustrative shopping example, and a verified care incident separate.

What is uncertain

No finding of fraud, delusion or universal mistrust of online care is warranted.

Commonness and evidence limits

Attested in the cited supplied source contexts; repeated versions and multiple paragraphs are not independent interviews. No population prevalence, community consensus, or shared private image is established.

Relationships and comparison

These are scoped relationships from the research record, not claims of universal equivalence.

Synonyms and near-synonyms

No exact local synonym established by the cited selections; related and dictionary-sense relationships are recorded separately.

Antonyms and contrasts

No exact local antonym established. Contextual contrasts do not establish a universal lexical opposite.

Across languages

The English local definition is an analyst gloss. A separately verified other-language counterpart is not established for this complete local expression.

অংশগ্রহণকারীঃ মানে বিশ্বাস কম পায়। অংশগ্রহণকারীঃ এই যে বিভিন্ন ধরনের প্রতারণা হয়, খবর তো সবাই করে।
