Durante pouco mais de oito anos, o alemão Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen escreveu um diário, no qual registrou suas impressões a respeito do regime nazista, ao qual radicalmente se opunha. A redação do diário só foi interrompida quando o autor foi preso pela Gestapo, pela segunda vez, e enviado ao campo de Dachau, onde perderia a vida poucas semanas antes da chegada das tropas aliadas. O relato de Reck-Malleczewen, além do drama pessoal que cerrega, é especialmente interessante pelo fato de que representa uma voz de oposição conservadora, de alguém que não era, originalmente, alvo de perseguição por parte do regime nazista. No presente trabalho, traduzimos, pela primeira vez para o português, o Diário de Reck-Malleczewen, procurando contextualizar a obra, criticamente, no contexto em que foi escrita. / For a little more than eight years, the German writer Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen kept a diary, where he registered his impressions related to the Nazi government, to which he was radically opposed. The journal was interrupted only when the Gestapo arrested Reck for the second time, sending him to Dachau, where he died a few weeks before the arrival of the allied troops. Reck-Malleczewens testimony, along with the personal drama it carries, is especially relevant because it represents the voice of a conservative opposition to the Nazi government, a voice from someone who was not, at least not initially, a target to the Nazis. Here we translate, for the first time to the Portuguese language, the Reck-Malleczewns journal, trying to put it, through comments and footnotes, in the context in which has been written.

This thesis argues that truth-telling in high level (nursing home) aged care is a undamentally important aspect of care that ought to reside equally alongside instrumental care. The health of the resident in a nursing home, as with individuals in other care contexts, is directly linked to care provision that allows the resident to be self determining about their care and thus allows them to make reasonable choices and decisions. This qualitative study explores the meaning of truth-telling in the care providerresident dyad in high level (nursing home) aged care. Grounded within the epistemology of social constructionism and the theoretical stance of symbolic interactionism, this study relied on oral and written text from care providers (personal care assistants and registered nurses) and residents. Thematic analysis of data relied on practices within grounded theory to determine their understanding and the conditions and consequences of their understanding about truth-telling in the nursing home. Through an understanding of the relationship-role-residency trinity, truth-telling in high level (nursing home) care comes to be understood. It has been determined that the link between truth-telling and the nature of the care provider-resident (and residents' families) relationship is that both personal carers and nurses in this study premise their understanding of truth disclosure on knowing a resident's (and resident's family's) capacity for coping with the truth and therefore catering for the resident's or family's best interests. The breadth and depth of this knowing and how the relationship is perceived and described determine what care providers will or will not tell. That is, the perceptions both personal carers and nurses have about the relationship - how they describe themselves as 'family like', 'friend' and 'stranger', has implications for the way disclosure operates and is described. Additionally, how care providers perceive and understand their role determines what care providers will or will not tell. That is, the perceptions both carers and nurses have about their own and each other's role - how they describe themselves for example as 'hands-on' carer and 'happy good nurse' has implications for the way disclosure operates and is described. Furthermore, care providers' meaning and understanding of truth-telling in aged care is not possible in the absence of an appreciation of how the care providers give meaning to and come to understand the care circumstance - residency, the aged care facility, the nursing home. That is, the perceptions both personal carers and nurses have about the aged care facility - how they describe residency as 'Home away from Home' (and what this means), as a place of little time and a plethora of situations have implications for the operation of truth-telling as a whole. Recommendations from the study include the implementation of a telling audit to better serve the truth-telling preferences of residents and the reorientation of care practices to emphasise affective care (talk rather than tasks). Furthermore, it is recommended that changes occur to the care provider roles, that care providers define themselves as facilitators rather than protectors, and education be ongoing to improve communication with and care of residents with dementia and those dying. Finally, the language of residency as 'home' needs to capture an alternate philosophy and attendant practices for improved open communication.
