Colombia is characterized by its ethnic and cultural diversity, which was evidenced in the census carried out by DANE in 2018, where more than 1.9 million people identified themselves as members of indigenous communities. This population group faces greater public health difficulties, being particularly vulnerable to preventable conditions such as malnutrition in childhood and maternal mortality. The causes of this situation are diverse, including the location in remote areas of difficult access, high levels of poverty, and language barriers that hinder communication and understanding in health services, these communities have limited economic resources, which restricts their access to both the adequate quantity and quality of food. In addition, they tend to live in peripheral areas marked by high rates of poverty and affected by processes of forced displacement, multiparity, interruption of breastfeeding, lack of living conditions. Objective: To identify nursing interventions in the diagnosis of malnutrition in the indigenous child population of Colombia
