Abstract
The article assesses health care professionals’ perspectives on personalized psychosocial support (PPS) development in routine cancer care. Using the methodology of an explanatory longitudinal research design, the factors that condition the development of PPS in the organization are identified from a retrospective and prospective point of view. The results of the research support the evidence regarding the implementation of a person-centered approach in different cancer care settings around the globe and identifies the gaps in developing PPS in cancer care that may be applied to PPS development elsewhere in the country.
