This study aimed to explore the perspectives of a sample of Iranian nursing and midwifery faculty members in Birjand University of Medical Sciences concerning collaborative mentoring.Methods: Experiences from 17 members were collected using semi-structured interviews. Following the approach recommended by Graneheim and Lundman (2004), a qualitative content analysiswas used to analyze the interviews.Results: Two main themes emerged: ‘reaching team satisfaction through an engaging mentorship’ and ‘group journey toward professional actualization’.Conclusions: As a feasible intervention, collaborative mentoring sessions can be used to improve personal life, professional interaction, and satisfaction of nursing and midwifery faculty members.
