Popis: Objective: The leadership skills of pediatric residents during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may have major impacts on their performance. These skills should be addressed during the pediatric residency training program. Therefore, we aimed to identify the perceptions of residents regarding their level of confidence in providing or leading a real pediatric CPR code, and to identify different factors that might influence their self-confidence when assuming the role of a team leader during a real CPR. Design & setting: Cross-sectional paper-based and online electronic surveys were conducted in February 2017, which included all Saudi pediatric residency program trainees. Interventions: A survey questionnaire was distributed to Saudi pediatric residency trainees throughout the Kingdom. The main aim was to assess their perceived level of confidence when running a real pediatric CPR code either as a team leader or as a team member. Results: The survey was distributed and sent by email to 1052 residents, where it was received by 640 and 231 responded (response rate = 36%). Almost one-fifth of the respondents (19.5%) did not have a valid pediatric advanced life support (PALS) certificate. The most frequently reported obstacles to life support training were lack of time (45.8%) and its financial cost (22.7%). The mean self-reported confidence as a CPR team member was reported significantly more frequently than being a CPR team leader (mean standard deviation, SD) = 7.8 (2.1) and 6.7 (2.4) respectively, P
