Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey completed by the operating room staff using surgical instruments was used to measure the level of their satisfaction with the instruments in the packages. We utilized single-factor analysis to investigate possible factors that might cause defects in surgical instrument packaging, and conducted multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors associated with defects in packaging.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Length of service, educational background, number of staff dealing with packaging, time period of packaging, instrument structure, whether the wrap was intact, whether the wrap reached the required quality of cleaning, and whether the surgical instruments were satisfactorily cleaned in compliance with guidelines were the factors significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05) associated with defects in surgical instrument packaging.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study reveals that various factors are associated with defects in surgical instrument packaging.
