VOLLES, Camila Christine; BUSSOLETTO, Greici Maestri  and  RODACOSKI, Giseli. A conspiracy of silence in the hospital environment: when the talk is not noise. Rev. SBPH [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp. 212-231. ISSN 1516-0858.

This study brings into context the approach of silence as a form of expression in a hospital environment, its various facets and presentificações. To assess how the silence presents itself between the patient, family and staff before a diagnosis, treatment or terminal. A total of ten participants, their families and the multidisciplinary team involved. Became a semi - structured to be able to have a north that would be raised to answer the questions and hypotheses initially created. There was a silence that at times appears to be protective of the family of the patient or staff, and other times as a form of expression that makes noise, sometimes as a choice, either as an imposition. But at all times realize that silence comes camouflaging or disguising a situation that brings pain, anguish and fears of the unknown or certainly unacceptable. By looking at trying to understand how and why the silence happens, we obtained a rich demonstration of human frailty in the face of self and others, on health and disease, with life and death.

Keywords : Conspiracy of silence; Human frailty; Humanization.
