Özet

Objectives: The Nursing Interventions Classification is used for planning nursing care. Animal-assisted practices, an intervention within this classification, is a treatment method that is widely used around the world. However, its use is limited in Turkey. Animal-assisted practices, which are used to support various groups today, constitute an intervention option in addition to medical treatments, ensuring health protection and promotion. This systematic review aims to analyze the randomized controlled studies that used animal-assisted practices and to determine the effects of this procedure and the interventions made, thereby contributing to the literature.
