Cancer diagnoses expose patients to traumatic stress, sudden changes in daily life, changes in the body and autonomy, with even long-term consequences, and in some cases, to come to terms with the end-of-life. Furthermore, rising survival rates underline that the need for interventions for emotional wellbeing is in growing demand by patients and survivors. Cancer patients frequently have compliance problems, difficulties during treatment, stress, or challenges in implementing healthy behaviors. This scenario was highlighted during the COVID-19 emergency. These issues often do not reach the clinical attention of dedicated professionals and could also become a source of stress or burnout for professionals. So, these consequences are evident on individual, interpersonal, and health system levels. Oncology services have increasingly sought to provide value-based health care, considering resources invested, with implications for service delivery and related financing mechanisms. Value-based health care can improve patient outcomes, often revealed by patient outcome measures while seeking balance with economical budgets. The paper aims to show the Gemelli Advanced Radiation Therapy (ART) experience of personalizing the patients' care pathway through interventions based on technologies and art, the personalized approach to cancer patients and their role as “co-stars” in treatment care. The paper describes the vision, experiences, and evidence that have guided clinical choices involving patients and professionals in a co-constructed therapeutic pathway. We will explore this approach by describing: the various initiatives already implemented and prospects, with particular attention to the economic sustainability of the paths proposed to patients; the several pathways of personalized care, both from the patient's and healthcare professional perspective, that put the person's experience at the Gemelli ART Center. The patient's satisfaction with the treatment and economic outcomes have been considered. The experiences and future perspectives described in the manuscript will focus on the value of people's experiences and patient satisfaction indicators, patients, staff, and the healthcare organization.

“…Dessa forma, o paradigma teórico que estuda os fundamentos psicológicos do bemestar tem demonstrado grande interesse pelo comportamento organizacional. Por isso, os conceitos organizacionais positivos têm sido alvo de interesse dos pesquisadores que buscam melhorar o desempenho organizacional (Hunter, Wright, & Pearson, 2019;Kumari & Rastogi, 2017;Pureza, Kuhn, Castro, & Lisboa, 2012).…”

Cada vez mais os pesquisadores têm voltado sua atenção para a avaliação do bem-estar no trabalho a partir da utilização de instrumentos de medida válidos e confiáveis, sobretudo a partir do crescimento dos estudos da Psicologia Positiva. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar as evidências de validade e a confiabilidade da escala de bem-estar no trabalho de Paschoal e Tamayo (2008). Este instrumento é composto pelos fatores: afeto positivo, afeto negativo e realização/expressividade. As análises dos principais eixos fatoriais, com 169 casos válidos, permitiram a extração de 3 fatores que, somados, explicam 62,55% da variância total. A partir da análise fatorial exploratória, o instrumento permaneceu com a mesma estrutura fatorial da escala original e todos os itens representaram significativamente cada fator. A escala apresentou altos índices de consistência interna e bons parâmetros psicométricos, podendo ser útil para o diagnóstico organizacional e para o planejamento de ações de gestão de pessoas, servindo para identificar os aspectos mais prejudiciais e os que mais contribuem para o bem-estar, levantando informações importantes que possam subsidiar futuras intervenções capazes de amenizar os afetos negativos e a percepção de pouca realização no trabalho.
