Brief Summary
Breast milk is a unique, natural and universal food with excellent content that ensures healthy growth and development of the baby. Since twin babies are mostly born prematurely, with low birth weight and with health problems affecting important systems such as respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, breastfeeding becomes more important. Studies show that mothers with twin babies can produce sufficient quantity and quality of milk. However, the breastfeeding rates of twin babies are not at the desired level. In the successful breastfeeding of twin babies, breastfeeding education started before birth has an important place in initiating and maintaining successful breastfeeding. Today, it is recommended to use different materials and techniques in order to ensure continuity in the training given to healthy and sick individuals. One of them is QR code supported training. Using different training and method techniques will make it easier for nurses to be more effective. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of QR code supported online breastfeeding education given to pregnant women expecting twins on breastfeeding intention and feeding with breast milk in the first six months. Research Hypotheses: H0: There is no difference between breastfeeding intention and success of mothers who have twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training and those who are not. H1: The breastfeeding intention and success of mothers with twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training with QR code is higher than mothers who are given online breastfeeding training only. H1: The breastfeeding intention and success of mothers with twin babies who are given online breastfeeding training with QR code is higher than mothers who are not given breastfeeding training.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Evaluation of breastfeeding intention in study and control groups
Breastfeeding Intention Scale for Pregnant Expecting Twin Babies" developed to evaluate the intention of breastfeeding in pregnant women expecting twin babies, each item is scored from 1 to 5 on a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 7 positive items and the scores vary according to the responses of the items. Scoring items; Strongly Disagree (1), Disagree (2), Moderately Agree (3), Agree (4), Strongly Agree (5). The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 7 and the maximum score is 35. The high total score obtained from the scale indicates that pregnant women expecting twin babies have a high breastfeeding intention.
Change from pre-education and two weeks after education breastfeeding intention
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Breastfeeding rates in study and control groups
Within the first week following the birth of pregnant women, every month starting from the 1st month until the 6th month
Exclusively breastfeeding rates in study and control groups
Within the first week following the birth of pregnant women, every month starting from the 1st month until the 6th month
Study Arms (3)
Experimental
EXPERIMENTALExperimental group 1: Breastfeeding training for successful breastfeeding in twin babies will be given to the online training group. The training will be carried out by the researchers (DM) and (SYC) using visual training tools (power point presentation, simultaneous breastfeeding animations in twin babies and breastfeeding guide). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic process, it will be carried out online and remotely. Training on successful breastfeeding in twin babies will be carried out in two sessions at a time. In the first session, about 45 minutes of online slide-assisted training on successful breastfeeding in twin babies and the importance of breast milk will be conducted and questions of pregnant women will be answered. Total training will take approximately one and a half hours.
Active comparator
ACTIVE COMPARATORExperimental group 2: Breastfeeding training for successful breastfeeding in twin babies will be given to the QR supported online training group. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic process, it will be carried out online and remotely. Training on successful breastfeeding in twin babies will be carried out in two sessions at a time. Total training will take approximately one and a half hours. In the guideline, there will be 4 vieos ralted to "Breastfeeding and Feeding with Breast Milk in Twin Babies", "Breastfeeding Techniques and Positions in Twin Babies", "Expressing Breastfeeding, Storing and Feeding it to Babies" and "Problems Encountered in Breastfeeding and its Solutions", and simultaneous breastfeeding used in breastfeeding twin babies and also there will be a total of 7 QR codes, 3 of which are related to the animations (Animation 1-2-3) of the positions (double cradle grip, double football grip, combination of armpit and cradle grip-parallel grip).
Control Groups
NO INTERVENTIONPregnant women in the control group will be followed up in line with the routine health monitoring and information of the hospital.
Interventions
Online breastfeeding training will be provided to pregnant women expecting twin babies.
QR code supported online breastfeeding training will be given to pregnant women who are expecting twin babies.
