The belief in jinn possession is deeply rooted amongst Muslims. A previous quantitative research has identified 23 significant symptoms of jinn possession. The loadings of the symptoms were used to create a scale for positive identification of jinn possession. The scale aims to provide the easy identification of jinn possession without knowing the complexity of jinn possession. The scale can be used for early identification of jinn possession or identification of jinn possession cases amongst mental health patients. 1088 data samples from the previous research, comprising of 530 cases of jinn possession and 588 cases of non-possession, were used to create the scale. The score of every sample were calculated, and the computed data were analysed using Receiver Operations Characteristics. A cut-off score of 1.9 was obtained to indicate those considered to have jinn possession. A new set of 188 participants were recruited to validate the scale by comparing the diagnosis according to the scale with that of ruqyah. 109 participants were diagnosed as having jinn possession by the scale, with 108 of them confirmed by ruqyah giving a success rate of 99.1%. The scale is a useful instrument that health professionals can use for positive identification of jinn possession without the need for learning ruqyah. Suspected cases of jinn possession can then be referred for complementary treatment with confidence.
Kepercayaan wujudnya posesi jin adalah sebahagian dari aqidah Islam. Satu kajian kuantitatif telah mengenalpasti 23 simptom yang signifikan. Muatan simptom telah digunakan untuk membina satu skala untuk mengenalpasti posesi jin dengan penuh keyakinan. Skala ini bertujuan untuk memudahkan kes-kes posesi jin dikenalpasti dengan penuh keyakinan tanpa mengetahui ilmu posesi jin secara mendalam. Skala boleh digunakan untuk mengenalpasti posesi jin di peringkat awal atau untuk mengenalpasti posesi jin di kalangan pesakit kecelaruan mental. 1088 sampel dari kajian terdahulu, yang mempunyai 530 kes posesi dan 588 kes bukan posesi, digunakan untu pembinaan skala. Skor setiap sampel dikira dan data kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan analisis Receiver Operations Characteristics. Skor pemisah bernilai 1.9 diperolehi untuk menentukan mereka yang dianggap mempunyai posesi jin. Satu set sampel seramai 188 orang telah direkrut untuk tujuan validasi skala dengan membandingkan diagnosis skala dan diagnosis ruqyah. 109 sampel telah didiagnosis mengalami posesi jin oleh skala dan 108 daripadanya disahkan oleh diagnosis ruqyah, memberikan kadar sukses sebanyak 99.1%. Skala ini merupakan instrumen yang boleh digunakan oleh ahli professional kesihatan untuk mengenalpasti posesi jin secara yakin tanpa keperluan untuk mempelajari ruqyah. Kes-kes yang posesi jin kemudian boleh dirujuk untuk rawatan komplementari tanpa ragu.
