    Introduction: There are a number of requirements and necessary steps involved in instrument processing, including preparation, cleaning and packaging of instruments for sterilization. The nurses require a high level of knowledge in instrument processing and skills to practice it in operation room to prevent hospital acquired infection. This will enable quality care which increase likelihood of infection prevention and promote optimal quality care. Objective: To determine knowledge and practice of instrument processing and associated factors among operation room nurses at Addis Ababa University, Black Lion Hospital, 2020 Methodology: Institution based Cross sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practice of instrument processing and associated factors among operation room nurses at Black Lion Hospital, 2021. Systematic random sampling was done to select study subjects. The Practice of sterile technique was assessed by using the observation checklist among Operating room nurses. Structured questionnaire was also used for collection knowledge and associated data. Instruments was pre tested, cheeked, cleaned and entered in to Epi-data version 3.1 and imported to SPSS version 25.0 software for analysis. Associations between independent variables and dependent variables were analyzed by using binary logistic regression model with bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis technique. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The overall knowledge and practice of participants on instrument processing was 37(31.10%) and 41(34.5%) respectively,. Service year [(AOR=0.002) (95%CI) 0.10(0.02, 0.43)], Higher level of education [(AOR=0.02) (95%CI) 0.09(0.01, 0.12)], positive attitude [AOR=0.01 (95%CI) 7.33(3.01, 12.99)], training [(AOR=0.012) (95%CI) 0.30(.12, 0.76)], Refreshment and promotion [(AOR=0.001)(95%CI)1.33(1.01, 2.92)] and Availability of disinfectant [(AOR=0.012) (95%CI)3.42(1.32, 8.88)] are significantly associated with knowledge and practice of instrument processing. Conclusion: Only about one third of participants have good knowledge and good practice on instrument processing. The finding alerts stake holders to do something in changing the condition.
