Johanna Simmons is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in the fields of elder abuse, family relations, healthcare, and social care. Her main research interests include the aspects of violence victimization, which are prevalent among both men and women, particularly among older adults. Studies indicate that experiences of various forms of violence—be it physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or neglect—are significant issues within intimate relationships and familial connections. Simmons’s work acknowledges that individuals victimized in healthcare and social care settings are often at increased risk of experiencing further violence, a phenomenon referred to as polyvictimization. Her research highlights the strong association between violence victimization and various forms of ill health, emphasizing the importance of addressing these challenges in healthcare settings for victims. Currently, she is focused on the REAGERA project, which aims to address elder abuse in geriatric care.
