Eighteen perinatal women experiencing depressive and\/or anxiety symptoms elected to participate in either virtual group or individual IPT sessions over nine weeks, with an optional in-person final group session. Outcome measures included the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ). Statistical analyses included paired and independent t-tests and correlation analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both group and individual IPT formats demonstrated significant improvements in depressive and anxiety symptoms. Across the sample, BDI-II scores decreased by an average of 10.2 points and GAD-7 scores by 5.9 points. Perceived social support improved in both groups, with slightly higher gains in the individual IPT group, although differences between formats were not statistically significant. Qualitative feedback reflected high satisfaction, emotional support, and strengthened interpersonal relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nurse-led virtual IPT, offered in either group or individual formats, is feasible for improving depression and anxiety care quality among perinatal women.
