Core Tip	In 306 children with bronchopneumonia, emotional state was evaluated in relation to treatment compliance and symptom improvement. Anxiety /depression was strongly associated with lower compliance and slower symptom recovery, supporting targeted clinical psychological intervention to enhance children’s compliance and consequently accelerate rehabilitation. The findings of this study provide an important breakthrough for the rapid recovery of children with bronchopneumonia: Focusing on and improving their emotional state.
