Abstract

This scoping review explores the interdisciplinary collaboration between nursing and engineering in healthcare, focusing on how such collaborations can address complex healthcare challenges. It aims to investigate the nature, roles, processes, and outcomes of the partnerships between nursing and engineering professionals. The review identifies existing gaps in the literature and proposes the development of programs to facilitate further collaboration. By combining engineering's technological expertise and nursing's patient-centered care focus, the partnership can drive innovation and improve healthcare outcomes, making care more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. This review highlights the importance of educational initiatives and interdisciplinary training to foster future collaborations in healthcare settings.
