    Objective To review the psychological effects that have been reported as part of the process of animal-assisted intervention applied to different patient groups, especially with oncology patients, in articles published between January 2019 and March 2024. Method A systematic literature review was performed using various academic databases. Filters were applied to select articles in Spanish or English, available in full text and including a theoretical review of intervention studies with dogs. A Microsoft Excel matrix was used to organize the information and finally 35 selected articles were obtained, which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Thirty-five review articles were reviewed, which in turn reviewed research results with different populations. Five narrative reviews, twenty-four systematic reviews, five meta-analyses and one hypothetical review were found. The research on Animal Assisted Intervention allowed observing benefits in various diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorders, dementia, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, among others. Recent studies highlight improvements in quality of life, stress reduction and emotional and social strengthening. Conclusion Although promising, more rigorous research and standardization of protocols are needed to support the clinical effectiveness of Animal Assisted Intervention.
