It offers benefits for mentors, mentees and organisations by increasing job satisfaction, retention and cost savings, as well as improving patient outcomes. Its importance for new or prospective managers and managerial students is well recognised within training and academia. The existing evidence on mentoring programmes for managers in healthcare is scattered; therefore, comprehensive data on mentoring programmes for managers, encompassing both effectiveness and experiences, are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A mixed\u2010methods systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed\u2010methods systematic reviews. A systematic search of the CINAHL (EBSCO), Scopus, Medic, Web of Science, Medline (Ovid), ProQuest and MedNar databases was carried out in November 2023 and updated in August 2025. Literature published in English, Finnish and Swedish was searched, with no restrictions on the year of publication. A narrative summary of quantitative data and a thematic synthesis of qualitative data were used to integrate the findings, following the convergent segregated approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of ten studies were included. The integration of quantitative and qualitative evidence yielded three comprehensive themes: managerial skills and knowledge reinforcing managers\u2019 professional growth, increased soft skills improving managers\u2019 personal growth and diligent arrangements ensuring managers\u2019 growth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mentoring programmes were shown to have beneficial effects on the development of different leadership competencies. Managers experienced positive improvements in their personal and professional growth.
