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.
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.
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.
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.
辅助生殖技术（ARTs）或用于治疗不孕夫妇的技术的有效性已得到认可。胚胎捐赠就是这样一种技术。然而，对于接受捐赠胚胎的母亲的经历了解不足。因此，本研究旨在确定接受捐赠胚胎的母亲的经历。
这项定性的传统内容分析研究于2018年进行了8个月（从2月至9月）。研究地点是罗扬研究所。采用目的抽样法，从怀孕或产后阶段的母亲中选取接受捐赠胚胎的母亲。对13名参与者共进行了15次访谈。定性数据通过深度非结构化访谈收集，并使用Graneheim和Lundman（2004年）的方法在（第10版；VERBI GmbH，柏林，德国）软件中进行分析。
数据分析产生了412个开放代码，然后将其分为7个主要类别及其子类别。主要类别如下：社会文化限制、个人和家庭身份的不安全感、个人和家庭身份的保护、混淆的支持、压力和困难以及实现相对平静。
本研究结果表明，接受胚胎捐赠的母亲在个人和家庭身份方面都经历了不安全感，面临社会文化困难，并面临各种压力。建议未来的护理计划关注这些家庭以及因这些方法产生的儿童的身份危机，并建议未来的计划平衡因使用这些方法而产生的社会经济压力。
