Objetivo : Analizar la evolución y tendencias del estudio sobre la efectividad de las Intervenciones Asistidas con Animales (IAA) en la reducción de los síntomas depresivos, mediante una revisión documental. Metodología : Se realizó una revisión bibliométrica y documental utilizando las bases de datos Web of Science (WoS) y Scopus, empleando términos relacionados con intervenciones asistidas con animales y depresión. Tras un proceso de filtrado, se analizaron 50 artículos relevantes. Se emplearon herramientas como Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix en R) y Tree of Science para identificar tendencias, autores, revistas y redes conceptuales en la producción científica. Resultados : La producción científica sobre IAA y depresión ha mostrado un crecimiento sostenido en el número de publicaciones y la participación de revistas y autores reconocidos en el área. Los resultados se segmentan en estudios clásicos, estructurales y recientes , los cuales han explorado la efectividad de la TAA arrojando resultados plausibles en la red ucción de síntomas depresivos y de soledad, impacto positivo en la regulación emocional, interacción social y bienestar psicológico en la población de diversos contextos y grupos etarios.

Methodology : A bibliometric and documentary review was carried out using the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, using terms related to animal - assisted interventions and depression. After a filtering process, 50 relevant articles were analyzed. Tools such as B iblioshiny (Bibliometrix in R) and Tree of Science were used to identify trends, authors, journals and conceptual networks in scientific production. Results : Scientific production on AAI and depression has shown a sustained growth in the number of publications and the participation of recognized journals and authors in the area. The results are segmented into 3 classic, structural and recent studies, which have explored the effectiveness of AAT yielding plausible results in the reduction of depressive symptoms and loneliness, positive impact on emotional regulation, social interaction and psychological well - being in the population of diverse contexts and age groups.
