Through a mixed-methods approach combining experimental design and qualitative analysis (N = 120), we examine how AI intermediaries influence communication dynamics, relationship building, and decision-making processes. Results indicate that while AMC initially creates barriers to trust formation, it ultimately leads to enhanced communication outcomes and stronger professional relationships when implemented with appropriate transparency and support. The study revealed a 31% improvement in cross-cultural understanding and a 24% increase in negotiation satisfaction rates when using AI-mediated channels with proper transparency measures. These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of technology-mediated communication and practical applications for organizations implementing AI communication tools.展开更多

Methods: Using the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review, six literature databases were searched, including CNKI, Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PudMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. Studies on the factors influencing undergraduate nursing students’ PSC from database inception to July 31, 2023, were reviewed and data extracted. Results: A total of 1,955 articles were retrieved, and 27 studies were included. The current status of PSC primarily focuses on self-perception. Factors influencing undergraduate nursing students’ PSC are mainly individual and demographic, while external factors include various teaching methods and environments. PSC impacts professional maturity, mental health, self-concept, and pre-internship stress among nursing students. Conclusion: PSC profoundly influences undergraduate nursing students’ future career choices and professional development. Nursing educators and administrators should adopt measures to enhance and improve PSC levels, thereby fostering a larger pool of nursing professionals.展开更多
