Bakgrund: Att bli äldre kan innebära flytt till särskilt boende. Faktorer som kan bidra till trivsel är bland annat social kontakt samt den fysiska miljön. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om äldre i särskilda boenden med ett eget kök/pentry i större utsträckning har social kontakt och högre skattad trivsel än de utan eget kök/pentry. Design: Tvärsnittsstudie med kvantitativ ansats. Metod: Data från 4469 enkäter insamlade mellan november 2013 och september 2014 analyserades i SPSS. Resultat: Samband mellan kök och social kontakt gick inte påvisa men däremot fann vi en statistisk signifikant skillnad i skattad trivsel hos de med eget kök/pentry och social kontakt i jämförelse med dem utan. Konklusion: Inget samband återfanns mellan eget kök och social kontakt, däremot ser trivsel hos äldre ut att påverkas om man har eget kök eller inte. Ytterligare studier efterfrågas, speciellt om kökets innebörd för den äldre. Nyckelord: Kök, pentry, social kontakt, trivsel, äldre, särskilt boende / Background: Getting older could lead to moving to a special housing. Factors that can contribute to thriving are social contact and physical environment among others. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore if elderly within special housings who had access to their own kitchen were inclined to have more social contact and a higher level of thriving than those without. Design: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Method: Data from 4469 surveys were collected between November 2013 and September 2014 and then analysed with SPSS Results: Connection between having an own kitchen and social contact was not found in this study. However, we did find a link between thriving and having a kitchen as well as having social contact. Conclusion: No association was found between having an own kitchen and social contact, however, thriving does seem to be affected if you have a kitchen or not. Further studies is needed that investigate the kitchens role more close. Keywords: Kitchen, kitchenette, social contact, thriving, elderly, special housing
