dado que el desplazamiento forzado interno de indígenas colombianos continúa incrementando, es necesario continuar estudiando las repercusiones que este fenómeno puede llegar a tener sobre la salud indígena. Objetivo: dilucidar las relaciones entre desplazamiento forzado interno por conflicto armado y salud mental en indígenas colombianos. Metodología: estudio cualitativo con técnicas mixtas, basado en pensamiento complejo. Resultados: el conflicto armado colombiano ha forzado a la población indígena, a desplazarse desde su entorno rural a escenarios urbanos, afectando su modo de vida. De las consecuencias del conflicto armado, la familia y la comunidad son las más alteradas, ponen en juego la integración y por ende el colectivo, ya que las dinámicas relacionales se transforman y se reorganizan para afrontar una nueva realidad. Conclusiones: el conflicto armado ha afectado a los indígenas por desterritorialización y a través de la pérdida, transformación y desestructuración de su cultura; siendo ambos asuntos determinantes de la salud mental indígena.
