 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, İzmir ili Buca ilçesine bağlı Adatepe Mahallesinde yaşayan sosyoekonomik açıdan dezavantajlı, evli kadınların güçlendirilmesi gereken alanların belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel bir alan çalışmasıdır. Araştırma verileri, sosyodemografik özellikleri tanımlayan bilgi formu ve Kadınların Güçlendirilmesi Ölçeği aracılığıyla yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya; sosyoekonomik açıdan dezavantajlı, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü, evli 308 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmada görüşülen kadınların, İzmirde uzun süredir yaşamalarına rağmen sosyal yaşama katılımlarının sınırlı olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum üzerinde etkili olan sosyodemografik özellikler arasında; görüşülen kadınların yaklaşık yarısının 45 yaş ve üzerinde olması, 72.4ünün ortaokul ve altı eğitim düzeyine sahip olması, büyük çoğunluğunun çalışmamakta ve yarısından fazlasının en az bir ile üç sayıda çocuk sahibi olması yer almaktadır. Kadınların sahip olduğu bu özellikler ile çalışmada kullanılan alt ölçekler arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır p0.05. Çalışmada yer alan kadınların bağımsız hareket edebilme alt ölçek puanı 6.28; aile baskısından kurtulma alt ölçek puanı ise 3.82dir. Ekonomik güvence ve ekonomik katkı alt ölçek puanı 0.44 ile güçlendirilmesi gereken en önemli alanın, ekonomik alan olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç: Katılımcıların; yaş, eğitim, çalışma durumu, aylık toplam gelir ve yaşayan çocuk sayısı ile kadınları güçlendirme ölçeğinin alt ölçek ve toplam puanları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık belirlenmiştir.
