Background : Handwashing compliance is a crucial indicator in preventing nosocomial infections in hospitals. The combination of peer coaching and visual displays is considered to provide direct feedback and effective visual reinforcement in establishing consistent handwashing habits. Objective : To determine the effect of peer coaching with visual displays on handwashing compliance among nurses at the Mother and Child Hospital in Bandung. Method : This study used a pre-experimental design with a pre-test – post-test one group design approach on 45 nurses in four service units with low compliance levels. The intervention was carried out for four weeks by IPCLN using visual display media in the form of a scoreboard, Wall of Fame, appreciative posters, and weekly visual targets (mild gamification). Data were collected using the WHO observation form and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results : There was an increase in handwashing compliance across all units after the intervention, with an increase of 50-75%. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significant difference between before and after the intervention (p = 0.000). Conclusion : Peer coaching with visual displays has been shown to have an effect on increasing nurses' handwashing compliance. These interventions not only have short-term impacts, but also support the formation of a sustainable patient safety culture in the hospital environment.
