ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this research was to descr ibe the importance of video games in mental health intervention processes.
Methodologically, this article developed a systematic literatur e review based on the PRISMA statement, taking into account articles
published in the last 5 years in the Scopus, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases. After the document selection process based on
the established criteria, the sample consisted of 31 scientific publications. From the results found, those containing topics outside the
main research question were discarded and documen ts with content related to the keywords used were selected. Among the main
results, it is highlighted that the appropriate use of video games for therapeutic purposes has significant effects on people's mental
health. The findings show the generation of encouraging changes when psychological interventions mediated by video games with
contents aimed at mental health promotion and prevention are carried out. In addition, the evidence highlights the impact at the emotional
and cognitive level from the interaction with these and underlines the need to increase the number of research and interventions aimed
at improving the quality of life in different population groups.
Keywords: systematic review, video games, intervention, mental health.
