Abstract (English): Objective: to evaluate the knowledge about the practices performed during and after childbirth in the indigenous community Tutunendo, Chocó - Colombia. Methodology: descriptive observational study that included indigenous community leaders. The population was selected through the Asociación de Cabildos de Autoridades Tradicionales Indígenas Embera Dóbida, Katio, Chamí y Tule in conjunction with the Asociación de Pueblos Indígenas Dobida, Eyabida y Katio del Chocó. The information was collected from the primary source by means of an instrument adapted by the researchers. The analysis was carried out by means of relative and absolute frequencies for qualitative variables and median and interquartile ranges for quantitative variables according to their distribution. Results: 23 indigenous community leaders were included, with a median age of 38 years and a predominance of males (69.6%, 16). Of the indigenous leaders, 47.8% (11) considered that midwives should have formal education and certification to perform this type of practice; however, 17.4% (4) thought that it was sufficient to have ancestral knowledge and experiential experience. Conclusion: although Colombia already has clearer concepts about the importance of midwives in different parts of the country, it is essential to promote education and the sharing of knowledge in order to safeguard maternal and child health and improve maternal and child morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento sobre las prácticas realizadas durante y después del parto en la comunidad indígena de Tutunendo, Chocó, Colombia. Metodología: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, que incluyó a líderes comunitarios indígenas. La selección de la población se realizó a través de la Asociación de Cabildos de Autoridades Tradicionales Indígenas Embera Dóbida, Katio, Chamí y Tule, en conjunto con la Asociación de Pueblos Indígenas Dobida, Eyabida y Katio del Chocó. La información se recolectó mediante un instrumento diseñado y adaptado por el equipo investigador. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo con frecuencias absolutas y relativas para las variables cualitativas, y mediana con rangos intercuartílicos para las variables cuantitativas, según su distribución. Resultados: Participaron 23 líderes comunitarios indígenas, con una mediana de edad de 38 años y predominio del sexo masculino (69,6 %). El 47,8 % consideró que las parteras deben contar con formación académica y certificación formal, mientras que el 17,4 % opinó que es suficiente con el conocimiento ancestral y la experiencia vivencial. Conclusión:A pesar del reconocimiento actual sobre la importancia de las parteras en Colombia, es fundamental promover procesos de formación y encuentros interculturales de saberes que contribuyan a salvaguardar la salud maternoinfantil y a mejorar los indicadores de morbimortalidad materna en comunidades rurales y apartadas.
