The screening of human psychological stress using Resonant Field Imaging (RFI) frequency counter

Abstract

The aim of the study was to screen the human psychological stress using Resonant Field Imaging (RFI) frequency counter. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 141 physically healthy participants. The body radiation frequencies were measured using RFI frequency counter at the frontal region. Participants were then required to complete the three validated questionnaires that served as the gold standard of stress i.e. Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Scatter plots and Pearson Correlation analysis were done to find any associations between the body radiation frequencies and the total scores of the questionnaires. The results from this study showed that there were weak correlations between body radiation frequencies at frontal region with K10, HADS-Anxiety, HADS-Depression and GHQ-12. These findings suggest that RFI frequency counter has a potential to be used as a screening tool in detecting psychological stress.
