Sumario:Childhood anemia is a public health problem that affects millions of children globally, especially in developing regions, compromising their cognitive development and school performance. Diagnosis includes anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory tests such as complete blood counts and ferritin measurement. Anemia is classified by etiology, red blood cell morphology and severity. Nurses play a crucial role in health education, early detection and comprehensive patient management, including nutritional interventions and pain management. Educational programs and iron supplementation are essential for prevention and treatment. However, challenges such as early detection, adherence to treatment and socioeconomic conditions hinder management. Interdisciplinary collaboration and culturally competent strategies are vital to address this problem. Continuous training of nurses and appropriate health policies are necessary to combat childhood anemia and ensure healthy development in children.
