Infertility, a problematic issue to the newly married couples, should be treated as no couple should be deprived of having children. The treatment, however, poses new challenges to the multiples and subsequent preterm births, health system, and families. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an education-support-follow-up program on the mothers' perceptions of their multiples' needs.
This research is a three-phase interventional study. The first phase develops an educational program through review of the literature and using the opinions of experts. In the second phase, the developed program will be implemented in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for the mothers of multiples. In the third phase, based on the developed plan, the required support will be applied and followed up. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire which is completed by the mothers ( = 30) before and after the intervention. Convenience sampling method will be used, and the mothers will be allocated randomly. Data gathering started from September 2020 and would continue until the sample collection is completed. Data will be analyzed through the descriptive and analytical statistics with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.
The present study can address the needs of the multiple infants based on the implementation of an education-support-follow-up program for mothers and their families.
The mothers of multiple infants are required to specify unique physical and developmental needs of their infants, while their perceptions of these needs may be different based on the education-support-follow-up program. The researchers designed the program to help them define highly specialized needs of multiples and also examined their perceptions of these needs.
不孕症是新婚夫妇面临的一个难题，由于不应剥夺任何夫妇生育子女的权利，所以应对其进行治疗。然而，这种治疗给多胞胎、随后的早产、卫生系统和家庭带来了新的挑战。因此，本研究的目的是调查一项教育-支持-随访计划对母亲对其多胞胎子女需求认知的影响。
本研究是一项分为三个阶段的干预性研究。第一阶段通过文献回顾和专家意见制定一个教育计划。在第二阶段，将在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）为多胞胎母亲实施该计划。在第三阶段，根据制定的计划提供所需的支持并进行随访。数据收集工具是研究者自制的问卷，由母亲们（n = 30）在干预前后填写。将采用便利抽样方法，并对母亲们进行随机分配。数据收集从2020年9月开始，将持续到样本收集完成。数据将使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）21版通过描述性和分析性统计进行分析。
本研究能够基于为母亲及其家庭实施的教育-支持-随访计划满足多胞胎婴儿的需求。
多胞胎母亲需要明确其婴儿独特的身体和发育需求，而她们对这些需求的认知可能因教育-支持-随访计划而有所不同。研究人员设计该计划是为了帮助她们明确多胞胎的高度专业化需求，并研究她们对这些需求的认知。
