Introduction:
Pregnancy is a critical period marked by vast changes, with a pivotal role in healthcare. The Mothers on Respect (MOR) index measures and ensures respect in maternal care, impacting health-seeking behaviors and postpartum outcomes vital for individual and healthcare system well-being. This study aims to validate the Greek version of the MOR index to enhance respectful maternity care and contribute to positive childbirth experiences.
Methods:
A retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical online survey collected data from Greek women with home childbirth experience. We utilized a self-administered questionnaire and the Greek version of the Mothers on Respect (MOR) index.
Results:
The MOR index, assessing knowledge and awareness, showed a median score of 78 points, with a significant association between higher scores and living in Attica or being a healthcare professional (p=0.027 and p=0.024, respectively). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the questionnaire had an acceptable fit, and reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's α exceeding 0.7 across all dimensions.
Conclusions:
The Greek MOR index validation advances respectful maternity care, enhances maternal health in Greece, and contributes to regional efforts for positive childbirth experiences.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
