Introduction: Interprofessional relations and team cooperation are the basis for providing safe and high-quality care and improving the status of the nursing profession. Many studies have been conducted in this field in Iran. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the status of professional relations and team cooperation of nurses in Iran.
Methods & Materials: The current research is of a descriptive-review type and by searching in databases such as: "SID", "Magiran", "PubMed", "Google schola", "Iran Medex", "Irandoc" and with keywords: "Interprofessional relations", "team cooperation", "nursing" and "Iran"  which were done without time limit (until April 1402); After applying the inclusion criteria and evaluating the articles using the "Newcastle-Ottawa" valid checklist, 24 articles with full text were included in the research.
Results: Out of 24 selected articles, 5 articles were published in English and 19 articles were published in Farsi, of which 5 articles were qualitative and 19 were descriptive-analytical. The results showed that in Iran, the standard of interprofessional relations as well as team cooperation of nurses is at an average level; therefore, the inter-professional relations of nurses and doctors were not reported in a favorable condition.
