{blacksquare} A structured questionnaire was used to compare the views of 80 parents and nurses examining expectations of parental participation in care.

{blacksquare} Nurses and parents shared many expectations. However, there were instances when parents expected a different and sometimes greater level of participation.

{blacksquare} A lack of negotiation between parents and nurses with regard to expected roles resulted in parents often feeling unable to express their desired level of participation.

{blacksquare} Both parties indicated that if parents received greater guidance and support, it would be possible for their expectations to be met more adequately.

Key Words: Expectations • Nurses • Parents, Negotiation • Participation.
