EFFECTIVENESS OF BIOFEEDBACK INTERVENTION2AbstractResearchers have documented that there is a high frequency of mental health problems such as increase in anxiety level among the graduate students globally. However, it is noted that not all students are able to seek help on their mental health issues in their campuses due to limited resources. This study examined the use of biofeedback program to reduce the anxiety level among the graduate students. 70 final-year undergraduate students from Murdoch University in Australia participated in this study for a duration of 10 weeks. They were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The experiment used 2 x 2 SPANOVA to analyse the data from Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Skin Conductance Level (SCL). The result supported the hypothesis that the biofeedback program was effective in significantly reducing the anxiety level in the participants from the intervention group, while the control group did not show any improvement in their anxiety level. As such, biofeedback program is concluded to be an effective intervention to reduce anxiety in the graduate students.

When students get overwhelmed with such pressures andare unable to cope, the consequences lead them to anxiety, stress, depression, impulsive behaviours and even suicide (Ratanasiripong et al., 2012). Stunning statistics have shown that there is an increase in suicides, alcohol related incidents and other emotional and mental related issues experience by college students (Taylor, 2006). Studies have shown that graduate and undergraduate students from Australia,Greece, Taiwan and Thailand have high prevalence of negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms (Ratanasiripong, Kaewboonchoo, Ratanasiripong, Hanklang & Chumchai, 2015). This is supported by a survey conducted in 2012 by Association for University and College Counselling Centre Directors (AUCCCD), which indicates that anxiety is the top existing burden college
