Background and Objectives: When individuals are injured in accidents, the intervention of bystanders to control bleeding is critical, as it can significantly reduce mortality. This study sought to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of female bystanders regarding bleeding control through a customized questionnaire survey.   Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in January 2025 using a self-structured questionnaire distributed electronically to female participants across all regions of Saudi Arabia. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel, presenting results in the form of numerical values and percentages.   Results: The knowledge and attitudes of the 462 participants were satisfactory, with 83.1% agreeing that bleeding is the primary cause of preventable death, 62.1% acknowledging the necessity of bystanders’ intervention for saving lives, and 91.1% expressing willingness to participate in bleeding control courses.   Conclusion: The findings of our study indicated a generally satisfactory level of knowledge and attitude among the female population in Saudi Arabia; however, there remain areas for improvement in awareness, confidence, and expertise. This study is one of the first to examine Saudi women's bleeding control after their recent authorization to drive. To enhance their capacity to manage hemorrhage, it is imperative for women to participate in requisite educational programs at the institutional level and to involve diverse community members of different ages and backgrounds through campaigns in public venues, such as shopping centers and parks.
