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.
