title: Nursing Educational Motivation and Barriers Inventory.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The major purposes of the study are revision of the Nursing Educational Motivation and Barriers Inventory (NEMBI) and translation of it into Arabic.
  
  
  METHODS
  NEMBI was translated into Arabic, then back-translated to ensure the accuracy of the translation. The translation and back-translation of NEMBI were accurate and identical. A panel of experts provided content validation. Reliability was evaluated in a pilot test. For the larger study, 158 Saudi nurses completed the NEMBI.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Exploratory factor analysis yielded 8 factors. NEMBI is a valid and reliable tool for use in Arabic-speaking populations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As nursing education is transformed in Arabic-speaking norms, this tool provides a valid and reliable means for examining motivational factors that influence nurses' decision to return to school to advance their education.
