Background:

Loneliness is a significant issue affecting older adults' well-being.
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) offers a potential strategy to address loneliness.
Understanding the landscape of IPC interventions for loneliness is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically map and synthesize existing knowledge on interprofessional collaboration (IPC) interventions for tackling loneliness.
To identify the types of IPC interventions, involved disciplines, target populations, and implementation facilitators and barriers.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
Searches were performed across multiple databases (OVID Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, ProQuest) from January 2003 to October 2023.
Data extraction and analysis were guided by the PAGER framework.

Main Results:

Eleven eligible articles were included in the review.
IPC interventions, including social groups, art therapy, and digital technology, generally proved effective in alleviating loneliness among older adults.
A wide range of healthcare professionals, students, artists, and engineers participated, with interventions delivered face-to-face or digitally.

Conclusions:

Interprofessional collaboration, particularly using digital technology, is a growing trend for addressing loneliness in older adults.
While IPC interventions show effectiveness, the specific collaborative mechanisms between disciplines require further investigation.
Nursing engagement in IPC for loneliness is relatively low, highlighting an opportunity for expanded roles.
