Summary:
The aim of this prospective, randomized controlled experimental clinical trial was to examine the effect of individual counseling interventions based on the Health Action Process Approach Model on breastfeeding duration in twin pregnancies. Women in the intervention group received breastfeeding education using motivational interviewing techniques, while women in the control group received routine clinical education and no intervention. Hypotheses of the study:

H1: Women who received individual intervention based on the SESY model have higher prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy than the control group.

H2: Women who received individual intervention based on the SESY model have higher prenatal breastfeeding intentions than the control group.

H3: Postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy of women who received individual intervention based on SESY model is higher than the control group.

H4: Breastfeeding motivation of women who received individual intervention based on the SESY model is higher than the control group.

H5: Women who received individual intervention based on the SESY model had higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding than the control group.

The women in the intervention group were given breastfeeding education with motivational interviewing techniques at 28-38 weeks of pregnancy in the prenatal period and 1-3 days, 1-2 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 4th month and 6th month in the postpartum period. The women in the control group did not receive any training by the researcher.

Primary Outcome Measures: Breastfeeding duration of twin babies until the sixth month postpartum after counseling, The duration of breastfeeding the twins was measured using a breastfeeding follow-up form after the counseling intervention using motivational interviewing techniques. The breastfeeding follow-up form included questions about the number of breastfeedings in the last 24 hours and the mothers' formula feeding status. Mothers who breastfed 9-12 times were considered to have breastfed their babies sufficiently. Mothers who breastfed their babies 6 times or less did not breastfeed their babies enough. Babies of mothers who give formula to their babies are interpreted as not receiving enough breast milk., Postpartum 1-3 days, postpartum 1-2 weeks, postpartum 4-6 weeks, postpartum 4 months and postpartum 6 months
Secondary Outcome Measures: Duration of exclusive breastfeeding of twin babies after consultation until the sixth month after birth, The duration of breastfeeding the twins was measured using a breastfeeding follow-up form after the counseling intervention using motivational interviewing techniques. The breastfeeding follow-up form included questions about the number of breastfeedings in the last 24 hours and the mothers' formula feeding status. Mothers who breastfed 9-12 times were considered to have breastfed their babies sufficiently. Mothers who breastfed their babies 6 times or less did not breastfeed their babies enough. Babies of mothers who give formula to their babies are interpreted as not receiving enough breast milk., postpartum 1-3 days, postpartum 1-2 weeks, postpartum 4-6 weeks, postpartum 4 months and postpartum 6 months|Breastfeeding Intention Level, The breastfeeding intention level of mothers of twin babies was measured with the breastfeeding intention scale in the prenatal period.The scale is a 5-point Likert scale. Items are scored from strongly disagree 1 to strongly agree 5. A minimum of 7 and a maximum of 35 points can be obtained from the scale. The higher the total score obtained from the scale, the higher the breastfeeding intention of pregnant women expecting twins. The scale can be used in both primiparous and multiparous pregnant women from the 20th gestational week until delivery. The scale can be easily completed by literate individuals., In the prenatal period between 28-38 weeks of gestation|Prenatal Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Level, The prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy level of the mothers of twin babies was measured with the prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale after breastfeeding training with motivational interviewing techniques. The scale consists of a total of 19 items and four subgroups. Each item of the scale is classified as "1=Not at all sure", "2=Slightly sure", 3=Quite sure", 4=Very sure", 5= Completely sure". It is graded on a 5-point Likert scale. The lowest score that can be obtained from the total scale is 19 and the highest score is 95. It is evaluated over the total score. The higher the score, the higher the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy., In the Prenatal period between 28-38 weeks of gestation|Postnatal Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Scale Level, The postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of the mothers of twin babies were measured with the postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale after breastfeeding training with motivational interviewing techniques. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Dennis in 1999 consists of 33 items. Dennis developed the short form of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale in 2003 by reducing it to 14 items. The Short Form Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale with 1= "I am never sure" and 5 = "I am always sure". The higher the score, the higher the breastfeeding self-efficacy., Postpartum 1-3 days, postpartum 4-6 weeks, and postpartum 4th month.|Breastfeeding Motivation Level in Mothers of Twin Babies, The level of breastfeeding motivation in mothers of twin babies was measured by motivational interviewing techniques and breastfeeding motivation scale after breastfeeding education. The scale consists of 24 items. The scale was adapted into Turkish by Mızrak and Özerdoğan in 2017. The scale consists of 6 sub-dimensions. These are; integrated regulation first sub-dimension 13,14,16,19,15,21,18,24,22,23, intrinsic motivation and identified regulation second sub-dimension 11,8,16,3,14.6,8,11,13, internalized regulation-social approval third sub-dimension 4,5, internalized regulation-social pressure fourth sub-dimension 7,9, external regulation-infant health fifth sub-dimension 2,12. and external regulation-additional benefits sixth sub-dimension 20,1,17,10. Scale items are graded from 1=strongly disagree to 4=strongly agree., 1-3 days postpartum, 4-6 weeks postpartum, and 4th month postpartum
