Introduction: Pediatric anesthesia has an increased risk of morbidity and requires adequate training. The objective of our study is to assess the quality of training among anesthesia and intensive care residents in the pediatric field and look for factors that may improve their satisfaction. Material and methods: we conducted a national survey among Tunisian anesthesia and intensive care residents practicing in Tunisia at the time of the survey. A questionnaire was used and delivered directly to the participants. This questionnaire covers the personal profile of the resident, the practice of pediatric anesthesia during the training course, satisfaction with the quality of training, the tools to improve the training, as well as the difficulties encountered. Residents were divided into two groups according to their satisfaction with their training in pediatric anesthesia in order to identify satisfaction factors using univariable logistic regression. Results : In this survey, we recruited 203 residents. The dissatisfaction rate with pediatric anesthesia training was 41.3%. The practice of neonatal anesthesia (OR = 4.2, 95% CI: 2.3–7.9), pediatric resuscitation (OR = 8.7, 95% CI: 3.5–21.6), and the management of pediatric critical situations (OR = 4.4, 95% CI: 1.9–9.8) improved satisfaction. Postgraduate continuing education through registration for interuniversity diplomas and simulation workshops or national college teaching also improved satisfaction (OR = 7.8, 95% CI: 2.8–26). Conclusion: Training in pediatric anesthesia in Tunisia has some insufficiencies, explaining the high rate of dissatisfaction among the residents. To improve satisfaction, it will probably be necessary to strengthen the training through specialized departments and increase the rate of postgraduate training.
