Background and Aim: Public confidence in RECEIVING the vaccine is essential for the success of communities in controlling COVID-19. The aim of this study was to determine the role of trust in RECEIVING or not RECEIVING COVID-19 vaccine among the people of Bushehr province, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on the fifth wave of coronavirus (delta strain) in Iran. Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed among adults in Bushehr province (over 18 years old) for two weeks (July 25 to August 8, 2021). The questionnaire included 5 demographic questions and 19 main questions in the form of three dimensions of trust in vaccines, trust in vaccine manufacturers, and trust in government and health authorities. Results: 384 people submitted a completed questionnaire. Mean trust in vaccine products was 3. 34±, 1. 08, trust in vaccine manufacturers was 3. 12±, 0. 29, trust in government and health officials was 3. 24±, 0. 38 and overall trust was 3. 23±, 0. 48. The relationship between trust and its dimensions with RECEIVING or not RECEIVING the vaccine was confirmed (p <0. 05). Among those who received the vaccine, trust in the vaccine (4. 18), manufacturers (3. 18), and health officials (3. 41) were good, but among those who did not receive the vaccine, trust in the vaccine (2. 07) Manufacturers (3. 03) and health officials (2. 98) were recorded as weak, moderate and moderate, respectively. The relationship between gender, education, age, underlying disease, and history of COVID-19 with or without vaccination was also confirmed (p <0. 05). Conclusion: Among the respondents, those who had higher trust in the vaccine, manufacturers, and government and health officials received the vaccine, which shows the importance of trust in vaccination. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the options of building trust for the success of the national vaccination.

Background: The efficacy of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ARTs) or technologies used to treat infertile COUPLES has been approved. One such technique is embryo donation. However, there is insufficient knowledge of the experiences of mothers RECEIVING donated embryos. Thus, the present study was conducted with the aim to determine the experiences of mothers RECEIVING donated embryos. Materials and Methods: This qualitative conventional content analysis study was conducted in 2018 for 8 months (from February to September). The research setting was Royan Institute. Mothers RECEIVING donated embryos were selected from among those who were pregnant or were at the postpartum stage using the purposive sampling method. A total of 15 interviews were performed with 13 participants. The qualitative data were collected using deep unstructured interviews and analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman (2004) method in (version 10,VERBI GmbH, Berlin, Germany) software. Results: Data analysis resulted in 412 open codes that were then categorized into 7 main categories and their subcategories. The main categories were as follows: sociocultural constraint, feeling of insecurity in personal and family identity, protection of personal and family identity, confounded support, pressure and hardship, and achieving relative tranquility. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the mothers who underwent embryo donation experienced feelings of insecurity regarding both individual and family identities, were confronted with sociocultural difficulties, and faced various pressures. It is suggested that future care plans be focused on the identity crisis of these families and the children resulting from these methods, and that future plans balance the socioeconomic pressures resulting from the use of these methods.
