ABSTRACT:This paper takes"End-of-Life Competence"(the comprehensive ability to achieve an autonomous and dignified closure at life's end)as its core starting point.It first clearly defines End-of-Life Competence,revealing its essence as an individual's intrinsic capability and objective.It further proposes that the realization of End-of-Life Competence relies on the foundational role of"Mindful-living competence"(the wisdom of living cultivated throughout the entire life course).By analyzing the dialectical relationship between the two(Mindful-living competence as the root,End-of-Life Competence as the fruit),the paper constructs the"Six-Capacity Model"of Mindful-living competence(Awareness Capacity,Letting-Go Capacity,Presence Capacity,Connection Capacity,Simplification Capacity,Legacy Capacity)and the"Triangular Support Model"of End-of-Life Competence(Intrapersonal Competence,Interpersonal Competence,Systemic Adaptability).Ultimately,it integrates and proposes the conceptual framework of"Lifelong Graceful End-of-Life Competence"(Lifelong Graceful End-of-Life Competence=Mindful-living competence+End-of-Life Competence),revealing its core value in enhancing life quality through reshaping the life-death perspective.At the practical level,it proposes a stepwise training path and a social support system,providing a theoretical paradigm for shifting palliative care from"end-of-life intervention"to"whole-life empowerment,"and offering new paradigms for advancing palliative care practice,reconstructing life education systems,and formulating public health policies.
