Resumen

Este estudio realizó una revisión integradora (2000-2025) sobre la salud mental y el buen vivir de mujeres indígenas, identificando factores psicosociales, culturales y ambientales asociados a padecimientos psíquicos. El análisis de 22 estudios mostró escasez de investigaciones con perspectiva de género y predominio de marcos occidentales. Contribuye al evidenciar la necesidad de enfoques interculturales y comunicativos sensibles a sus especificidades.
