Nurses' confidence in starting a new venture, startup or project in the context of nurse-led hackathons: Results of prehackathon survey.

Background: A hackathon framework has been successfully applied to solving health care challenges, including COVID-19, without much documented evidence of nurses' baseline or acquired confidence.

Purpose: To understand differences in baseline confidence levels in starting a new venture, startup or project in the context of nurse-led hackathons.

Method: A retrospective secondary analysis of a presurvey of hackathon participants from two NurseHack4Health (NH4H) events held in 2021.
