Objective The scope of related research on ethical conflicts in the interprofessional collaboration in nursing was reviewed,so as to summarize the obstacles and coping strategies that lead to ethical conflicts in interprofessional collaboration and provide references for promoting nurse engagement in interprofessional collaboration. Methods Based on the methodological framework of the scope review,we systematically searched domestic and foreign databases including the Cochrane Library,CINAHL,Embase,PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and SinoMed. The time limit for database retrieval was from the establishment of each database to March 2023. The selected studies were summarized and analyzed. Results Totally 13 articles published between 1991 and 2022 were included. The obstacle factors that lead to ethical conflicts in nurse engagement of interprofessional collaboration can be divided into 3 categories,including personal factors(insufficient professional knowledge,differences in professional values),interprofessional factors(imbalanced power between professions,lack of respect and collaboration between cooperators) and environmental factors(insufficient resources and staffing,high-intensity workload,and high-pressure work environment). At the same time, in view of these 3 aspects, it puts forward some countermeasures, such as enhancing professional knowledge,strengthening interprofessional education,improving understanding and cooperation among medical workers in different wards,providing medical practitioners with a team-based,ethical work environment that facilitates interprofessional collaborations and open dialogues. Conclusion It is of great significance for nurses to get involved in interprofessional collaborations,in order to ensure high-quality nursing services. Further studies are needed for the development of education and the core competency framework construction for interprofessional collaborations in nursing. More attention should be paid to develop the organizational atmosphere at the same time,so as to continuously improve nurse’ capabilities in interprofessional collaborations.
