Conclusion: The systematic review of Unlocking the Potential of Nursing Teams concerning Training and Development Programs in Saudi Healthcare found limitations and suggested improvements. KSA is developing nursing team training programs due to a lack of literature. The studies were limited and local. Research on training doesn't explain it. What development programs are underway. Unpublished research in local publications should be examined. Some studies use self-reported data. Gender-related training and development impediments were limited. The education competency and development framework, gender dynamics, cultural barriers, and retention variables should be studied longitudinally and experimentally.
