I'm not sure exactly what you want...
If you only want to 'italize' the word where you insert the actual index,
you can do this using some kind of ERT. Try inserting this into your
preamble
\newcommand\myindex[1]{\emph{#1}\index{#1}}
and then use it in your text as follows:
Some \myindex{strange attractors} are...
where \myindex{strange attractors} should be in a ERT box.
Just for the fun of it, I even put it inside a math macro, see the
attached file for an example.
