The goal of this research was to provide an overview of the role of trust in determining COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Trust proved to be a key issue in all the strategic phases of the pandemic, a decisive element for the success of the worldwide vaccination campaign. By introducing a comprehensive systematic review of the state-of-the-art (N = 43), we intend to shed light on the various forms of trust that have been considered and how these relate to citizens’ vaccine acceptance. The analysis shows that trust has been used extensively, with particular reference to the COVID-19 vaccine, governments, manufacturers, healthcare systems, and science. A more in-depth analysis has also allowed us to evaluate the role that these factors have had and the social phenomena in which they have been decisive. Most notably, we proved that, in the different contributions, trust in the COVID-19 vaccine has a strong correlation with vaccine acceptance (R = 0.78, p < 0.01). Overall, vaccine acceptance emerges as a complex phenomenon that needs to be understood through the strictly interlaced relations of trust in the various factors coming into play. Besides clarifying what happened in previous years, the considerations included in this work also represent an important and useful interpretative framework to help public institutions and the healthcare system in the future.
本研究旨在概述信任在决定 COVID-19 疫苗接种接受度方面的作用。信任被证明是大流行所有战略阶段的关键问题，是全球疫苗接种运动成功的决定性因素。通过对最先进技术进行全面系统的综述（N=43），我们旨在阐明已考虑的各种形式的信任，以及这些信任与公民对疫苗的接受度的关系。分析表明，信任被广泛使用，特别是在 COVID-19 疫苗、政府、制造商、医疗保健系统和科学方面。更深入的分析还使我们能够评估这些因素的作用以及它们在其中起决定性作用的社会现象。值得注意的是，我们证明在不同的贡献中，对 COVID-19 疫苗的信任与疫苗接种接受度之间存在很强的相关性（R=0.78，p<0.01）。总体而言，疫苗接种接受度是一种复杂的现象，需要通过严格交织的信任关系来理解，这些关系涉及到发挥作用的各种因素。除了澄清过去几年发生的事情外，本研究中的考虑因素还代表了一个重要而有用的解释框架，有助于公共机构和医疗保健系统未来的发展。
